Malt vinegar mayonnaise:
1 large egg yolk
2 tablespoons malt vinegar, divided
1 cup vegetable oil
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
Fish and assembly:
Vegetable oil (for frying; about 4 cups)
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt plus more
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper plus more
12 ounces (or more) chilled light lager
1 cup chilled club soda
1 tablespoon malt vinegar
1 cup corn flour or all-purpose flour
1 1/2 pounds cod, haddock or pollack, cut into long, 1 1/2"-wide strips
French fries (for serving)
Old Bay seasoning, flaky sea salt (such as Maldon), and chopped fresh dill
Lemon wedges (for serving)
Ingredient info: Corn flour, which is more finely ground than cornmeal, is available at Latin markets, natural foods stores, and bobsredmill.com.
Special Equipment
A deep-fry thermometer

Steps:

  • For malt vinegar mayonnaise:
  • Whisk egg yolk and 1 tablespoon vinegar in a small bowl. Whisking constantly, slowly drizzle in oil, drop by drop at first, until mayonnaise is thickened and smooth. Add remaining 1 tablespoon vinegar; season with salt and pepper. Cover and chill.
  • DO AHEAD: Mayonnaise can be made 1 day ahead. Keep chilled.
  • For fish and assembly:
  • Fit a large pot with thermometer; pour in oil to measure 3". Heat over medium-high heat until thermometer registers 375°F.
  • Meanwhile, whisk all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl. Whisking constantly, slowly add beer, club soda, and vinegar, adding more beer if batter is too thick (it should be the consistency of thin pancake batter).
  • Place corn flour in a shallow bowl. Season fish with kosher salt and pepper. Dredge fish in corn flour, shaking off excess, then dip in batter, letting excess drip back into bowl. Working in batches and returning oil to 375°F between batches, fry fish until golden brown and crisp, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to paper towel-lined baking sheet.
  • Season fish and fries with Old Bay, sea salt, and dill; serve with malt vinegar mayonnaise and lemon wedges.

This recipe was a waste of time. The fish and chips were soggy and the malt vinegar mayonnaise was too sour.

I followed the recipe exactly, but the batter didn't turn out crispy. The fish was also a bit bland.

The fish was a bit dry, but the chips were good. The malt vinegar mayonnaise was not to my taste.

This recipe was easy to follow and the fish and chips turned out great! The batter was crispy and the fish was cooked perfectly. The malt vinegar mayonnaise was a nice touch, but I think it would be even better with a tartar sauce.

I'm not a huge fan of fish, but I really enjoyed this recipe. The fish was cooked perfectly and the batter was crispy and flavorful. The malt vinegar mayonnaise was a great addition, and it helped to balance out the flavors of the fish and chips.

The fish and chips were easy to make and turned out great! The batter was light and crispy, and the fish was cooked through without being dry. The malt vinegar mayonnaise was a nice touch, and it added a bit of tanginess to the dish.
