Preparation

  1. Preparing the tartar sauce

    5 minutes
    • In a small bowl, mix together all of the tartar sauce ingredients. Set aside.
  2. Cooking the fish

    30 minutes
    • Heat oil in a large Dutch oven or deep fryer to 350°F. Pat the cut potatoes dry and fry in the oil for 4-5 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon to a wire rack and season with salt. Work in batches if needed.
    • In a large bowl, mix together the beer, flour, baking powder, and salt until a smooth batter forms.
    • Working in batches, carefully dip the fish fillets into the batter and fry for 6-8 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove to a wire rack and season with salt.
    • Serve the fish and chips with the reserved tartar sauce and lemon wedges.
             Tip: Keep the batter cold before frying and avoid over-mixing to create a light, airy coating that crisps up beautifully.
