Homemade Fish And Chips Recipes

BAKED FISH AND CHIPS

Steps:

• Make the horseradish tartar sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together all of the ingredients. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Prepare the fish and chips: Arrange 2 oven racks in the top and bottom third of the oven. Place a large rimmed baking sheet on the lower rack and heat oven to 500 degrees.
• In a large skillet over medium heat, warm 2 tablespoons oil. Stir in panko, thyme, garlic and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until crumbs are evenly dark golden brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer immediately to a bowl.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together mustard and eggs. Place flour in a third bowl.
• Grease an oven-safe wire rack with oil and place it over another rimmed baking sheet. Season fish with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Dredge each piece of fish in the flour, then mustard mixture, then panko mixture, making sure it is well coated with each one before moving to the next. Transfer fish to the wire rack. (You can bread the fish up to 4 hours ahead; store in the refrigerator, uncovered, either on the rack or just on a plate.)
• In a large bowl, toss together potatoes, the remaining 4 tablespoons oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Carefully spread potatoes out on the preheated baking sheet and return to oven's lower rack. Roast until slightly golden and crispy, tossing after 15 minutes.
• Reduce oven temperature to 425 degrees and transfer the second pan, with the fish still on the wire rack, to oven's top rack. Bake until fish is flaky and golden and potatoes are well browned and tender, about 10 to 15 minutes more.
• Salt fish and potatoes immediately after removing from oven. Serve hot, with tartar sauce alongside for dipping.

• Combine all batter ingredients in a mixing bowl.
• Cut the fillets into desired sized pieces.
• Dust fillets with flour.
• Dip the fillets in the batter.
• Fry fillets in deep fryer at 375 degrees with at least 2 inches of vegetable oil until golden brown. Don't crowd the fillets while frying.
• Drain fillets on paper towels or brown paper bags from the grocery store.

CHIPS AND FISH

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200 degrees F.
• Heat the safflower oil in a 5-quart Dutch oven over high heat until it reaches 320 degrees.
• Using a V-slicer with a wide blade, slice the potatoes with the skin on. Place in a large bowl with cold water.
• In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, cayenne pepper, and Old Bay seasoning. Whisk in the beer until the batter is completely smooth and free of any lumps. Refrigerate for 15 minutes. Note: The batter can be made up to 1 hour ahead of time.
• Drain potatoes thoroughly, removing any excess water. When oil reaches 320 degrees, submerge the potatoes in the oil. Working in small batches, fry for 2 to 3 minutes until they are pale and floppy. Remove from oil, drain, and cool to room temperature.
• Increase the temperature of the oil to 375 degrees. Re-immerse fries and cook until crisp and golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove and drain on roasting rack. Season with kosher salt while hot and hold in the oven.
• Allow oil to return to 350 degrees. Lightly dredge fish strips in cornstarch. Working in small batches, dip the fish into batter and immerse into hot oil. When the batter is set, turn the pieces of fish over and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Drain the fish on the roasting rack. Serve with malt vinegar.

FISH AND CHIPS

Steps:

• Heat 3 inches of the oil in a deep fryer to 325 degrees F. Alternatively, use a deep heavy skillet.
• Peel the potatoes and cut them into chips (that is, fries) about the size of your index finger. Put the potatoes in a fryer basket and lower into the oil. Fry the chips for 2 to 3 minutes; they should not be crisp or fully cooked at this point. Remove the chips to a paper towel-lined platter to drain.
• Crank the oil temperature up to 375 degrees F. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt and pepper. Combine soda water and egg and pour into the flour mixture. Whisk to a smooth batter. Spread the rice flour on a plate. Dredge the fish pieces in the rice flour and then dip them into the batter, letting the excess drip off.
• Put the chips in the bottom of the fryer basket and carefully submerge in the hot oil. Carefully lower the battered fish into the bubbling oil on top of the chips. Fry the fish and chips for 4 to 5 minutes until crispy and brown. Remove the basket and drain the fish and chips on paper towels; season lightly with salt. Serve wrapped in a newspaper cone with malt vinegar and/or tartar sauce.

• Place potatoes in a medium-size bowl of cold water. In a separate medium-size mixing bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Stir in the milk and egg; stir until the mixture is smooth. Let mixture stand for 20 minutes.
• Preheat the oil in a large pot or electric skillet to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Fry the potatoes in the hot oil until they are tender. Drain them on paper towels.
• Dredge the fish in the batter, one piece at a time, and place them in the hot oil. Fry until the fish is golden brown. If necessary, increase the heat to maintain the 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) temperature. Drain well on paper towels.
• Fry the potatoes again for 1 to 2 minutes for added crispness.

Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk continuously using a fork. While whisking, pour in ⅓ cup of beer and ⅓ cup of sparkling water and continue mixing until you have a thick, smooth batter. Place the batter in the fridge to rest for 30 minutes.
• Slice the potatoes into ½-inch wide chips. Rinse the chips in a colander under cold running water.
• Bring the washed chips to a boil in a saucepan of water and simmer for 3 - 4 minutes.
• Drain the par-boiled potatoes and dry with paper towels. Chill in the refrigerator, covered with paper towels until needed.

• In a deep-fat fryer or a large deep saucepan, heat 1 quart of oil to 350 °F.
• Cook the chips in the fat in batches for about 2 minutes per batch. Once the chips are slightly cooked, remove them from the fat and drain. Keep to one side.

• Dip the floured fish fillets in the batter and ensure the entire fillet is fully coated.
• Carefully lower each fillet into the hot oil and fry for about 8 minutes until the batter is crisp and golden.
• Remove from the hot oil and drain the cooked fillets on paper towels. Season with salt and cover with parchment paper to keep hot.
