• 500 grams white fish fillets (cod or haddock)
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup ice-cold sparkling water
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 4 large potatoes
• 2 liters vegetable oil
• to taste salt
• to taste vinegar

Method

1. 1

   Peel and cut the potatoes into thick strips. Soak them in cold water for about 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Gradually whisk in the ice-cold sparkling water until you have a smooth batter.

3. 3

   Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large pot to 180°C (350°F).

4. 4

   Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a towel. Fry the chips in the hot oil until they are golden and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

5. 5

   Dust the fish fillets lightly in flour, then dip them into the batter. Carefully place them into the hot oil and fry for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

6. 6

   Remove the fried fish and chips from the oil and drain on paper towels. Season with salt to taste.

7. 7

   Serve the fish and chips hot, with vinegar on the side for drizzling.
