Ingredients:

For the Fish:

- 4 fillets of white fish (such as cod or haddock), skinless and boneless

- 1 cup all-purpose flour

- 1 teaspoon baking powder

- 1/2 teaspoon salt

- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

- 1 cup cold beer (such as lager or ale)

- Vegetable oil, for frying

For the Chips:

- 4 large potatoes, peeled and cut into thick fries

- Vegetable oil, for frying

- Salt, to taste

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Fish:

- In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.

- Gradually pour in the cold beer while whisking to form a smooth batter. Set aside.

- Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.

- Dip each fish fillet into the batter, ensuring it is evenly coated on all sides.

2. Fry the Fish:

- Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (180°C).

- Carefully lower the battered fish fillets into the hot oil and fry for 4-5 minutes, or until the batter is golden brown and crispy.

- Remove the fried fish from the oil and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil. Keep warm.

3. Prepare the Chips:

- In the same hot oil, carefully add the potato fries in batches and fry for 5-6 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.

- Remove the fries from the oil and drain on paper towels. Season with salt while still hot.

4. Serve and Enjoy:

- Transfer the crispy fish and chips to serving plates or a platter.

- Serve hot with your favorite condiments, such as tartar sauce, malt vinegar, or lemon wedges.

- Enjoy the crispy comfort of homemade fish and chips with friends and family!


Tips:

- For extra crispy fish and chips, ensure that the oil is hot enough before frying.

- To keep the fish warm while frying the chips, place the cooked fish fillets on a wire rack set over a baking sheet in a preheated oven (200°F or 90°C).

- Serve the fish and chips with traditional accompaniments such as mushy peas, coleslaw, or a side salad for a complete meal.
