Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

3 quarts canola oil
2 russet potatoes, scrubbed
8 cod fillets (3 to 4 ounces each)
Kosher salt
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more as needed
3 teaspoons turmeric
2 teaspoons baking soda
One 12-ounce can beer, preferably IPA
2 large egg whites, whipped to medium peaks
Tartar Sauce, recipe follows
Lemon wedges, for serving
1 cup mayonnaise, preferably Hellman's
1/4 cup minced dill pickles
2 tablespoons capers
2 spicy banana peppers, minced
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
1/2 bunch fresh dill, minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oil in a large pot to 300 degrees F. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a tray with paper towels.
  • Cut the potatoes into large wedges, about 10 per potato. Fry the potatoes for around 4 minutes. (They will be soggy.) Remove them to the lined tray and pat them dry. Turn the oil to 375 degrees F.
  • Meanwhile, sprinkle the fish all over with salt. Combine 1/2 cup flour and 1 teaspoon turmeric on a plate, then season with salt. Dredge the fish in the flour mixture and let sit on the plate. Mix the baking soda with the remaining 2 cups flour and 2 teaspoons turmeric in a second bowl. Season well with salt. Slowly whisk in the beer until the batter has a pancake-batter consistency (you might not use it all). Fold in the egg whites. Adjust with more or less flour or beer as needed.
  • Line a sheet tray with a wire rack. Fry the potatoes at 375 degrees F until crispy, about 4 minutes. Transfer to the rack and season with salt immediately. Hold the chips in the oven while you fry the fish.
  • Lower the fry oil to 250 degrees F and line a plate with paper towels. Pat the excess flour from the fish, then coat in the batter. Gently lower the fish into the oil and fry until golden brown and the fish is cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer the fish to the lined plate and season with salt. Serve with Tartar Sauce, chips and lemon wedges.
  • Combine the mayonnaise, pickles, capers, peppers, lemon zest, lemon juice and dill in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper and mix until combined.

1/4 cup aged sherry vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh tarragon
1 quart vegetable or canola oil
4 large Russet or Idaho potatoes, skin on, cut into eight wedges
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 cup loosely packed parsley leaves, clean and completely dry
Kosher salt
Canola oil for frying, if necessary
1 1/2 cups beer, such as Stella Artois, plus more if needed

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Six 6-ounce halibut fillets
1 cup parsley leaves, optional, clean and completely dry
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • For the saffron tartar sauce: Bring the vinegar to a simmer in a small saucepan, add the saffron, remove from the heat and let steep for 5 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl and refrigerate until cool, about 10 minutes.
  • Put the mayonnaise in a medium bowl and whisk in the onion, mustard, capers, cornichons, lemon zest, lemon juice and the cooled saffron vinegar mixture. Stir until combined and season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 8 hours to allow the flavors to meld. Stir in the parsley just before serving.
  • For the sherry vinegar tartar sauce and chips: Whisk together the vinegar and mustard in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper. Slowly whisk in the olive oil until emulsified and stir in the tarragon. Let sit at room temperature for at least 15 minutes and up to 60 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
  • Set a baking rack over a baking sheet and set aside. Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or medium Dutch oven over medium heat until it registers 325 degrees F.
  • Fry the potatoes, in batches, until pale golden blonde and slightly soft, about 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining potatoes. Increase the heat of the oil to 365 degrees F.
  • Fry the potatoes again, in batches, until golden brown and crispy, about 2 minutes. Drain on a plate lined with paper towels, and season immediately with more salt and the smoked paprika. Reserve the oil for frying the fish.
  • For the fried parsley leaves: If desired for serving, fry the parsley leaves in the oil until crisp, about 30 seconds. Drain on a plate lined with a paper towel, season with salt and set aside for serving.
  • For the fried fish: Add more oil to the the deep fryer or Dutch oven if necessary and heat to 365 degrees F. Set a baking rack over a baking sheet and set aside.
  • Whisk together the beer, rice flour, breadcrumbs and salt and pepper until smooth, adding more beer if needed. The batter should be just thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
  • Whisk together the flour, cayenne and some salt and pepper on a plate. Season the halibut on both sides with salt and pepper, dredge in the seasoned flour and tap off the excess.
  • Dip the fish in the batter and let the excess run off. Fry the fish in batches, until golden brown on both sides and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and season with salt. Serve with the saffron tartar sauce, sherry vinegar and tartar sauce and chips. Garnish with the fried parsley, if desired.
