Fish and chips is one of Britain's favourite and most famous take-aways, often accompanied with Chip Shop Curry Sauce. Here is a simple recipe to have that unique melt-in-your-mouth fried fish at home.
Ingredients:
deep fat (for frying) or oil (for frying)
8 medium white fish fillets
4 ounces self-raising flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1 tablespoon butter, melted
5 fluid ounces milk
lemon wedge (to garnish)
Directions:
1. Half-fill a deep pan with melted fat or oil.
2. Heat until a faint haze rises from it (or until a bread cube sinks to the bottom of the pan, rises to the top immediately and turns golden in 50 seconds).
3. Sift the flour and salt into a bowl.
4. Beat to a smooth batter with unbeaten egg, butter and milk.
5. Coat 2 pieces of fish with batter.
6. Lift into the pan with a fork or kitchen tongs.
7. Fry until crisp and golden, allowing about 6-8 minutes for large pieces and 4-5 minutes for medium.
8. Remove from the pan and drain on unprinted (white) newspaper.
9. Garnish with lemon wedges, and serve with Fish and Chip Shop Curry Sauce (Recipezaar#17175).
