Yield 2 lbs. fish 7 chips, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup flour
1 egg yolk
4 tablespoons beer
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons milk combined with 6 tblsp. cold water
2 egg whites
vegetable oil (for deep frying)
2 lbs baking potatoes, sliced lengthwise into strips 1/2 inch thick by 1/2 inch wide
2 lbs fresh firm white fish fillets (such as haddock, sole, flounder or cod)

Steps:

  • Batter:.
  • To prepare the batter, pour the flour into a large mixing bowl, make a well in the center and add the egg yolk, beer and salt.
  • Stir the ingredients together until they are well mixed, then gradually pour in the combined milk and water, and continue to stir until the batter is smooth.
  • For a light texture, let the batter rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes, although if necessary it may be used at once.
  • In either case, beat the egg whites until they form unwavering peaks on the beater when it is lifted from the bowl. Then gently but thoroughly fold them into the batter.
  • Chips:.
  • To cook the chips and fish, heat 4 to 5 inches of oil in a deep fat fryer to a temperature of 375*.
  • Preheat the oven to 250*, and line a large shallow roasting pan with paper towels.
  • Dry the potatoes thoroughly and deep-fry them in 3 or 4 batches until they are crisp and light brown.
  • Transfer them to the lined pan to drain and place them in the oven to keep warm.
  • Fish:.
  • Wash the pieces of fish under cold running water and pat them completely dry with paper towels.
  • Drop 2 or 3 pieces of fish at a time into the batter and, when they are well coated, plunge them into the hot fat.
  • Fry for 4 or 5 minutes, or until golden brown, turning the pieces occasionally with a spoon to prevent them from sticking together or to the pan.
  • To serve, heap the fish in the center of a large platter and arrange the chips around them.
  • Traditionally, fish and chips are served with malt vinegar and salt.
