Taking the end of a piece of fish, place it in the batter and coat it well.
We will use this to place the fish once it's cooked. Place a few sheets of kitchen paper in your baking tray.
It should have the consistency of a pouring cream or yoghurt. Add the fizzy beer or fizzy water to your batter and gently mix it.TIP: If you don't have a thermometer, drop a bit of batter or end of a chip in and.We will refry them after the fish to give them a super crisp. Take them out of the pan and place on your baking tray for now.You can check if the chips are cooked by using a sharp knife and feeling if it's soft inside. They should turn soft and still have a pale colour. Carefully place the chips into the fryer / pan, and allow to cook gently for approximately 8 minutes.The potatoes need to be as dry as possible before frying to get them crispy.Peel and cut the potatoes into chip shapes, then rinse and pat dry with a clean tea towel.Don't worry if there are lumps in the batter. Add all the ingredients EXCEPT the beer / fizzy water, and give it a light whisk. Mix your flour and salt and pepper well in a shallow dish and cover the fish with the flour and shaking off any loose flour.If you have a thick part and thin part of the fish, cut the thin part off as we will cook this separately to avoid over cooking. Heat up the oil in your fryer / pan until it reaches 180C / 350F. If you are using frozen fish, defrost it.So without further ado, let's see how we make our British Beer Battered Fish and Chips. You don't want newspaper print sticking on your fish! Delicious!īut of course, if you're making this at home, you must use a newspaper and just pop a piece of parchment on the newspaper so your fish and chips are on that and not directly on the newspaper. This photo below shows some fish and chips with mushy peas in a container. These days, you can't get fish and chips wrapped in newspaper because of the hygiene, so now, they tend to serve you the fish and chips in a polystyrene box to take away. Never the less, I got to have fish and chips by the seaside to keep the tradition, even though I got soaked through in the end! I even took a photo to show you my last trip to the seaside, and sure enough, the skies were dull and cloudy and the heavens opened before I could finish my fish and chips so I had to run quickly to the nearest shelter which happened to be a bus stop. No matter the weather, rain, cloud or shine, grabbing a portion of fish and chips and then sitting along the promenade and watching the tide come in or out is a must! The smell of the vinegar on the newspaper will evoke many memories to an expatriate if ever you were to mention it to them!įor any of you familiar with British traditions, a trip to the seaside is never complete without eating fish and chips on the seafront.
