English Fish And Chips

Ingredients

  • 4 fillets of white fish (such as cod or haddock)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup cold water
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 large potatoes, peeled and cut into thick chips
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Gradually whisk in the cold water to form a smooth batter.
  2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep pan over medium-high heat.
  3. Dip each fish fillet into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off, then carefully lower it into the hot oil. Fry for 5-6 minutes on each side until golden and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
  4. In the same oil, fry the potato chips in batches until golden and crisp. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with salt.
  5. Serve the fish and chips hot, with tartar sauce, malt vinegar, or lemon wedges on the side.
