Fish and Chips - Easy image

This is an easy fish and chip recipe from Ina Garten (Barefoot Contessa). I love making fish and chips this way. The chips are baked in the oven while you fry the fish. Enjoy!

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 lb fresh cod fillets (choose thick ones)
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 c plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 Tbsp baking powder
1 tsp freshly grated lemon zest
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
2 extra-large eggs
vegetable oil for frying
4 large baking potatoes, unpeeled
4 Tbsp olive oil
1 1/2 tsp kosher salt
3/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 tsp garlic, minced
1 tsp fresh rosemary leaves, minced

Steps:

  • 1. Note: The 'chips' are cooked separately in the oven. I'll start you off with the directions for those (even though I didn't list it in that order for ingredients....sorry!) and while they bake, you can make the fish.
  • 2. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • 3. Scrub the potoates, cut them in half lengthwise, then cut each half in thirds lengthwise (if your potaotes are very large, you may want to cut them again). You'll have at least 6 long wedges from each potato.
  • 4. Put the potatoes on a sheet pan with the olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic and rosemary. Toss them all together. Spread the potatoes in a single layer with one cut side down.
  • 5. Bake the potoates for 30-35 minutes, turning to the other cut side after about 20 minutes. Bake until they are lightly browned, crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. Sprinkle with salt and serve with the finished fish.
  • 6. Meanwhile, while the potatoes are cooking, lay the cod fillets on a cutting board and sprinle both sides with salt and pepper. Cut the fillets in 1 1/2 inch x 3-inch pieces
  • 7. In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, lemon zest, cayenne pepper, 1 1/2 t salt and 3/4 t pepper. Whisk in 1 cup of water and then the 2 eggs.
  • 8. Pour 1/2 inch of oil into a large (12 inch) frying pan and heat it to about 360 degrees F.
  • 9. 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 2-3 minutes, until lightly browned and cooked through.
  • 10. Remove the fish to a plate lined with paper towel. Sprinkle with salt and serve hot with the 'chips'. Enjoy!

I used panko breadcrumbs for the batter and it gave it a nice crunchy texture.

I'm not a big fan of fried food, but these fish and chips were so good that I couldn't resist. They were crispy on the outside and flaky on the inside.

I made these fish and chips in my air fryer and they turned out just as crispy as if I had fried them in oil.

These fish and chips are a great way to use up leftover fish. I had some grilled salmon that I flaked and used in the batter.

I used cod for the fish and it was flaky and delicious. I would definitely recommend using a mild-flavored fish for this recipe.

The fish was cooked to perfection and the batter was crispy and flavorful. I especially liked the tartar sauce recipe that came with it.

I substituted almond flour for the all-purpose flour to make these gluten-free, and they were still delicious.

I was skeptical about making my own fish and chips at home, but this recipe proved me wrong. They were just as good as the ones from my favorite restaurant.
