TANGY TARTAR SAUCE (MADE WITH DILL PICKLES, NOT SWEET)



Tangy Tartar Sauce (Made With Dill Pickles, Not Sweet) image

This tartar sauce is made with dill pickles, or dill pickle relish, instead of sweet pickle relish, as is common with many other recipes. The flavor is bright and fresh, without being overly sweet. I make it with Best Foods/Hellmans light mayo, so it is not too heavy of a condiment, and the kids can have a good portion without turning their healthy baked fish into an unhealthy meal.

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 gallon vegetable oil
6 russet potatoes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup capers, chopped
1/4 cup sweet relish
3 large eggs, beaten
2 cups soda water
1 cup crushed ice
13 ounces all-purpose flour, plus more for dredging
4 cups panko breadcrumbs
Six 6-ounce pieces cod
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the French fries: In a deep pot or a tabletop fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 250 degrees F.
  • Cut the potatoes into batons leaving the skin on (the pieces should be 1/4 inch by 1/4 inch by the full length of the potatoes). Rinse the potatoes under cold water.
  • Fry the potatoes, in batches if necessary, until just tender but not mushy, about 4 minutes. There should be little to no color. Transfer the blanched fries onto a baking sheet and cool completely in the refrigerator.
  • For the tartar sauce: Combine the mayonnaise, buttermilk, capers and relish in a bowl and whisk together.
  • For the fried fish: Increase the heat under the pot of vegetable oil and heat the oil to 350 degrees F.
  • In a bowl, combine the eggs, soda water and crushed ice. Add the flour and whisk the batter. Do not overmix. Place the panko in a second shallow bowl. Place some flour for dedging in a third shallow bowl.
  • Season the fish with salt and pepper. Dredge each piece in the flour, then dip in the batter and then dredge in the panko.
  • Deep fry the pieces of fish, in batches if necessary, until golden brown and crispy, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove from the fryer and allow to rest on a cooling rack for 5 to 10 minutes.
  • While the fish rests, finish cooking the French fries. Bring the oil temperature back to 350 degrees F. Fry the French fries, in batches if necessary, until golden brown and crispy, 4 to 5 minutes. Toss the French fries in a bowl and season with salt and pepper.
  • For plating: Mound some fries on each plate and place a piece of fish over the top. Serve the tartar sauce on side.

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Vegetable oil, for deep frying
4 large russet potatoes
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt, plus more for seasoning
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more for seasoning
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 (12-ounce) can soda water
1/2 cup rice flour, for dredging
2 (8-ounce) cod or haddock fillets, cut in 1/2 on an angle
Malt vinegar, for serving
Tartar Sauce, recipe follows

Steps:

  • Heat 3-inches of the oil in a deep fryer to 325 degrees F. Alternately, heat 3-inches of oil in a deep pot.
  • Peel the potatoes and cut them into chips, about the size of your index finger. Put the potatoes in the oil. Fry the chips for 2 to 3 minutes; they should not be crisp or fully cooked at this point. Remove the chips with a spider strainer or slotted spoon, to a paper towel-lined platter to drain.
  • Crank the oil temperature up to 375 degrees F.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, and egg. Pour in the soda water and whisk to a smooth batter. Spread the rice flour on a plate. Dredge the fish pieces in the rice flour and then dip them into the batter, letting the excess drip off.
  • Put the chips in the bottom of the fryer basket and carefully submerge in the hot oil. Carefully wave the battered fish into the bubbling oil before dropping them in on top of the chips. Fry the fish and chips for 4 to 5 minutes until crispy and brown. Remove the basket and drain the fish and chips on paper towels; season lightly with salt. Serve wrapped in a newspaper cone with malt vinegar and/or tartar sauce.

  • 1/2 lemon, juiced
  • Dash hot sauce
  • In a small mixing bowl, combine all ingredients. Chill before serving to let the flavors marry.
  • Yield: about 1 1/4 cups

LEMON-DILL SAUCE FOR FISH



Lemon-Dill Sauce for Fish image

This is a nice change from tartar sauce, it's great to serve along side of fish, plan ahead this needs to chill for 2 hours or up to 24 hours before serving. One teaspoon or a small clove of fresh garlic is all that is needed or it will overpower the sauce, the flavours of this sauce will increase with chilling time, please adjust the dill to suit taste. Cooking time is chilling time.
