CLASSIC FISH AND CHIPS

Steps:

• 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.

EASY FISH AND CHIPS

Steps:

• Heat the vegetable oil in a heavy-bottomed pot until a deep-fry thermometer inserted in the oil registers 360 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, a big pinch of salt and some pepper. Whisk in the beer, and then the eggs.
• In batches, dust the fish with flour, and then carefully dip into the batter. Shake off any excess, and then gently place into the oil. Fry until golden, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate and season immediately with salt and pepper.
• Serve the fish and Homemade Chips together with lemon wedges, malt vinegar and Tangy Tarter Sauce.
• Heat 1 inch of peanut oil in a heavy-bottomed pot until a deep-fry thermometer inserted in the oil registers 360 degrees F. In batches, add the potato slices to the hot oil. Fry until brown and crispy, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate and season immediately with salt.
• Stir together the creme fraiche, mayonnaise, horseradish, capers, chives and lemon juice in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper.

CLASSIC FISH AND CHIPS

Steps:

• For the sauce: In a small bowl combine the mayonnaise, chives, parsley, cornichons, capers and lemon juice. Mix until smooth and taste for seasoning; adjust the flavors if needed. Transfer to a small ramekin.
• For the fish and chips: Combine the rice flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder and salt, and whisk in enough of the club soda to reach the consistency of a thick batter.
• Pour the oil in a large saucepot set over medium-high heat, and heat until a deep-frying thermometer inserted in the oil reaches 350 degrees F.
• Dip a piece of the fish into the batter, and then slowly lower into the hot oil. Repeat with the second piece of fish. Cook until golden brown and flaky, 4 to 6 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the fish, and place on a paper-towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil. Season with salt immediately, and then transfer to serving plates. Serve the fish with the tartar sauce, French fries and lemon wedges.
