The Story

British Fish and Chips is a quintessential dish that combines flaky white fish with a crisp, golden coating and chunky, tender chips. The secret to its success lies in the light and flavorful batter that envelops the fish, creating a satisfying contrast with the fluffy interior of the chips. Serve it with a side of mushy peas and a splash of malt vinegar for the full authentic experience.

Ingredients

4 large white fish fillets (cod or haddock)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup cold sparkling water
Vegetable oil (for frying)
4 large potatoes, peeled and cut into thick chips
Salt and pepper (to taste)
Malt vinegar (for serving)

Directions

Step

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large, deep pan to 350°F (180°C).

Step

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step

Gradually add the sparkling water to the flour mixture, whisking until you have a smooth batter.

Step

Dip each fish fillet into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated.

Step

Carefully place the battered fish into the hot oil and fry for 6-8 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Fry in batches if necessary.

Step

While the fish is frying, parboil the chips in a pot of salted water for about 5 minutes. Drain and let them air-dry.

Step

Once the fish is done, remove it from the oil and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.

Step

Increase the oil temperature to 375°F (190°C) and fry the parboiled chips until golden and crisp.

Step

Season the chips with salt and pepper to taste.

Step

Serve the fish and chips hot, with a side of mushy peas and a drizzle of malt vinegar.

Tips for this recipe

For an extra crispy coating on the fish, dust the fillets with a little flour before dipping them into the batter. This helps the batter adhere better and results in a light and crunchy texture.
