Method
Preparing the Chips
Frying the Chips
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Fry the Chips
Fry the potatoes in batches for about 5-6 minutes or until they are tender but not browned. Remove them from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain.
Double Frying
Increase the temperature of the oil to 375°F (190°C). Fry the chips again in batches for another 2-3 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with salt.
Preparing the Fish Batter
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt.
Add Sparkling Water
Gradually whisk in the cold sparkling water until the batter is smooth and thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Frying the Fish
Heat the Oil
In a separate pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Batter the Fish
Dip each fish fillet into the prepared batter, ensuring it is thoroughly coated.
Fry the Fish
Carefully lower the battered fish into the hot oil and fry for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Serving
Plate the Dish
Serve the hot fish and chips on a plate. Optionally, provide malt vinegar and tartar sauce on the side for dipping.
