- Preheat the oil in a large pot or electric skillet to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Fry the potatoes in the hot oil until they are tender. Drain them on paper towels.
- Dredge the fish in the batter, one piece at a time, and place them in the hot oil. Fry until the fish is golden brown. If necessary, increase the heat to maintain the 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) temperature. Drain well on paper towels.
- Fry the potatoes again for 1 to 2 minutes for added crispness.

Steps:
- In a deep pot, heat 3 inches of oil over medium-high heat until it registers 360 degrees on a deep-frying thermometer.
- In a medium bowl, combine dill, beer, soy sauce, lime juice, salt, and pepper. In another medium bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, and baking powder. Carefully pour the beer mixture into the flour mixture, and stir until combined. Chill batter in refrigerator, about 20 minutes.
- Pat fish dry with paper towels. Dredge fish lightly in flour. Remove batter from refrigerator. Coat each piece of fish, one by one, with the chilled batter. Transfer immediately to the hot oil in batches. Fry until just lightly golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon or tongs, gently transfer to a paper towel-lined baking sheet to drain, about 2 minutes. Return fish to the hot oil, and fry again until golden brown. The cooking time will vary depending on the variety of fish. Drain on a clean paper towel-lined baking sheet, and season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately with lemon and lime wedges, tempura fries, and aioli.
TRADITIONAL FISH AND CHIPS
Steps:
- Heat oil in a countertop deep-fryer to 250 degrees F.
- Rinse the potatoes in cold water and pat each chip with paper towels until absolutely dry. Poach the chips in the oil until cooked but not browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Scoop up the chips, shake off the excess oil and set aside. Turn up the heat on the fryer to 350 degrees F.
- In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, vinegar and 3 heaping tablespoons salt until pasty. Add 2 cups water and whisk until there are no lumps. Refrigerate the batter for 15 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Fill a second bowl with flour and season with salt. Sprinkle the fish fillets on both sides with salt and pepper, then dredge in the flour, making sure each fillet is completely covered.
- Working in batches, shake off the excess flour from the fillets and dip them into the cooled batter. Let excess batter drip back into the bowl before gently lowering the fillets into the fryer. Fry until the batter is golden brown and the fish is just cooked through but still tender and juicy, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain on a wire rack set over a baking sheet and transfer to the oven to keep warm.
- When all the fillets are cooked, crisp the chips in the fryer until golden brown. Carefully shake off the excess oil and season immediately with salt.
- Serve the fish and chips with malt vinegar and tartar sauce on the side.
PARKER'S FISH AND CHIPS
Steps:
- Lay the cod fillets on a cutting board. Sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper. Cut the fillets in 1 1/2 by 3-inch pieces.
- In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, lemon zest, cayenne pepper, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Whisk in 1/2 cup of water and then the egg.
- Pour 1/2-inch of oil into a large (12-inch) frying pan and heat it to about 360 degrees F.
- Dip each fillet into the batter, allowing the excess to drip back into the bowl. Place it very carefully into the hot oil. Don't crowd the pieces. Adjust the heat as needed to keep the oil between 360 and 400 degrees F. Cook the fish on each side for 2 to 3 minutes, until lightly browned and cooked through. Remove to a plate lined with a paper towel. Sprinkle with salt and serve hot with the "chips."
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Scrub the potatoes, cut them in half lengthwise, then cut each half in thirds lengthwise. You'll have 6 long wedges from each potato. Place the potatoes on a sheet pan with the olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic, and rosemary. With clean hands, toss all the ingredients together, making sure the potatoes are covered with oil. Spread the potatoes in a single layer with 1 cut side down.
- Bake the potatoes for 30 to 35 minutes, turning to the other cut side after 20 minutes. Bake until they are lightly browned, crisp outside, and tender inside. Sprinkle with salt and serve immediately.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality fish for the best results.
- Soak the fish in milk for 30 minutes before cooking to help keep it moist and tender.
- Use a light beer batter for a crispy, golden-brown coating.
- Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying the fish, or it will absorb too much oil and become greasy.
- Fry the fish in small batches so that it doesn't crowd the pan and cook evenly.
- Serve the fish and chips immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
