This is a delicious recipe for fish and chips, the old-fashioned English way. White cod is the preferred fish, but flounder works nicely too. Ingredients:
1 lb white cod fish fillet |
2 cups flour |
1 egg |
5 ounces milk |
5 ounces beer, flattened |
1 teaspoon salt |
vegetable oil |
malt vinegar |
5 idaho potatoes |
vegetable oil |
Directions:
1. FISH: Mix flour and salt in a large bowl, and mix egg and milk in a separate bowl; pour wet mixture into dry mixture and mix well.
2. Start heating oil to 375°F Run fingers across fish fillets and remove any pin bones. Slice the fillets into 1 by 3 strips.
3. When oil is up to temperature, mix beer into batter. Dip and coat fillets with batter and place into oil. Fry to a light golden brown, turning once. Remove and place on paper towels to drain. Keep warm in the oven if needed.
4. Sprinkle fish with a little salt and malt vinegar.
5. CHIPS: Peel 5 medium Idaho potatoes, slice into 1/2 square strips by the length of the potato. Rinse in cold water to reduce starch. Leave in water until oil is 375°F
6. Grab a large handful and pat dry with paper towel until fairly dry, to reduce spattering. Place into hot oil and fry until golden brown. Do a handful a time, keeping cooked ones warm in the oven.
7. Enjoy!
