Ingredients Needed:

• 1 ½ lbs white fish fillets, cut into long strips
• 1 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for dredging fish
• 1/2 cup cornstarch
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon paprika
• ½ teaspoon salt, plus more for seasoning fish
• ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more for seasoning fish
• 1 cup cold light beer

For Serving:

• Hot-cooked Fries (fried, baked, or air fryer)
• Tartar Sauce, ketchup, or fry sauce
• British Malt Vinegar

How To Make Fish and Chips Recipe?

1. Heat the oil: Fill a deep pot with oil, about 1-2 inches deep, and heat it to 180°C. Use a thermometer to ensure the oil stays between 180°C and 190°C.
2. Prepare the fish: Cut the fish fillets into long strips. Pat them dry with paper towels, then season generously with salt and pepper. Dredge the fillets lightly in flour.
3. Make the batter: In a bowl, mix flour, cornstarch, baking powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Gradually whisk in the beer (or club soda) until the batter is smooth. If it’s too thick, add more beer to loosen it.
4. Batter and fry the fish: Dip each fish fillet into the batter, ensuring it’s well-coated. Carefully lower the fillets into the hot oil, frying in small batches. Fry for 5-7 minutes until golden and crispy.
5. Rest the fish: Remove the fish from the oil and drain on paper towels. Keep warm in a 93°C oven if needed.
6. Serve: Serve the fish with fries, tartar sauce, ketchup, or fry sauce, and drizzle with malt vinegar.

Recipe Tips:

• Watch the oil temperature carefully: Ensure the oil stays between 180°C and 190°C. Too hot or too cold oil can affect the crispiness of the batter.
• Don’t overcrowd the pan: Fry the fish in small batches to prevent the oil temperature from dropping, which could lead to soggy fish.
• Pat the fish dry: Make sure to dry the fish fillets with paper towels before battering. This helps the batter stick better and results in a crispier coating.
• Use cold beer or club soda for the batter: Cold liquid helps create a light, crispy texture in the batter. Avoid using warm beer.
• Test the first fillet: Fry one fillet first to check the cooking time. Adjust the timing for the rest of the fillets accordingly to avoid overcooking.

How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?

• Refrigerate: Let the Fish and Chips cool to room temperature. Then, store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
• Reheat: Preheat the air fryer to 180°C and heat for 3-5 minutes until crispy again.
