Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cod fillets (about 6 ounces each)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour, divided
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 1/2 cups beer (or club soda)
- 2 pounds potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch thick fries
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- Salt, to taste
- Tartar sauce, for serving
- Lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions
- Prepare the Fish: Dredge each cod fillet in 1/2 cup of flour and shake off excess.
- Make the Batter and Fry the Fish: Whisk remaining flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Gradually add beer until smooth. Heat oil to 350°F (175°C) and fry fish for 5-7 minutes until golden brown.
- Prepare and Fry the Chips: Rinse potato fries and pat dry. Fry them in hot oil at 325°F (160°C) for 5-7 minutes, then increase temperature to 375°F (190°C) and fry for 2-3 minutes until crispy.
- Serve: Arrange crispy fish and chips on a platter, garnish with lemon wedges, and serve with tartar sauce.
