• 4 pieces white fish fillets (such as cod or haddock)
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup sparkling water
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 2 medium potatoes
• Salt to taste sea salt
• Oil for frying vegetable oil

Method

1. 1

   Peel the potatoes and cut them into thick fries. Soak in cold water for about 30 minutes, then drain and pat dry.

2. 2

   In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Gradually whisk in the sparkling water until the batter is smooth.

3. 3

   Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C).

4. 4

   Fry the potatoes in batches until golden and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels, then sprinkle with sea salt.

5. 5

   Dredge the fish fillets in the remaining flour and dip them in the batter, allowing any excess to drip off.

6. 6

   Carefully place the battered fish in the hot oil and fry for about 4-6 minutes until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.

7. 7

   Serve the fish and chips hot with extra salt and your favorite dipping sauces, such as malt vinegar or tartar sauce.
