REAL ENGLISH FISH AND CHIPS WITH YORKSHIRE BEER BATTER

Steps:

• Heat fat up in a chip pan or automatic deep fat fryer - mine has a chip setting which is 190°C.
• Peel the potatoes and cut into chunky sized chips. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
• Fry chips for about 3 minutes until soft but NOT coloured. Drain and shake well and set to one side.
• Put some flour onto a plate. Dredge the fish fillets in the flour thoroughly - this is VERY important, it stops the batter sliding off when fried! Leave the fish fillets in the flour whilst you make the batter.
• Some people say you should make the batter at least one hour before - I have found little difference - so make it before if it is convenient or now!
• Put flour, bicarbonate of soda, salt and pepper into a large roomy bowl. Add the beer gradually, stop when you have a thick coating type of batter. Drink any beer that is left! Whisk thoroughly until it is smooth and there are no lumps.Add the lemon juice OR a splash of malt vinegar if desired. Mix thoroughly again.
• Have your plates, newspaper or whatever ready for eating!
• Adjust deep fat fryer to fish frying temperature of 160°C.
• Take one fillet of fish at a time and holding it by the tail or thin end (!) swirl it around the batter until well coated - plunge into hot fat immediately. As soon as it has crisped up and set, add your other fillets one at a time, taking out the first ones as they cook - about 6 to 10 minutes depending on the thickness. Place onto a tray and keep warm in the oven.
• Turn up the heat setting to 190°C again and cook your chips until golden and crisp.
• Serve on plates or newspaper with salt & vinegar!
• All you need now is a pint of warm beer and Coronation Street on the TV to set the scene!
• This batter is great for small fish goujons, chicken goujons and also tempura vegetables too.

Steps:

• Cut potatoes into fries move into a large bowl filled with cold water.
• Whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, and cayenne in a medium-sized bowl. Slowly whisk in the beer, mixing until no lumps remain and the batter is smooth. Place in the fridge for at least 15 minutes, but no longer than an hour.
• Heat the oil in a large dutch oven of heavy-bottomed pan over high heat. Use a deep-fry thermometer and watch the oil temperature carefully.
• Drain the potatoes from the water and use a salad spinner or paper towels to dry the potatoes as much as possible.
• When the oil reaches 320 degrees, cook the potatoes in batches for 2-3 minutes or until they are pale and floppy. Remove them from the oil and place on a baking sheet lined with paper towels.
• Increase the oil temperature to 350 degrees.
• While the oil is heating, dip the fish strips into the corn starch and tap and brush off as much of the excess as you can.
• When the oil is 350 degrees, dip the fish into the batter and slowly lower it into the oil. Cook only 3-4 pieces of fish at a time, as to not crowd the pan. When the batter is set on one side, turn the fish over and cook on the other side until golden brown. Repeat until all the fish is cooked and keep the fish hot in a 200-degree oven, on a baking sheet lined with a baking rack, while preparing the fries.
• Increase the oil temperature to 375 degrees. When the oil reaches temperature, refry the potatoes in batches until they are golden brown. Drain on paper towels, season with salt and serve the fish and chips with fresh lemon juice, malt vinegar, and tartar sauce.

• Meanwhile, sprinkle the fish all over with salt. Combine 1/2 cup flour and 1 teaspoon turmeric on a plate, then season with salt. Dredge the fish in the flour mixture and let sit on the plate. Mix the baking soda with the remaining 2 cups flour and 2 teaspoons turmeric in a second bowl. Season well with salt. Slowly whisk in the beer until the batter has a pancake-batter consistency (you might not use it all). Fold in the egg whites. Adjust with more or less flour or beer as needed.
• Line a sheet tray with a wire rack. Fry the potatoes at 375 degrees F until crispy, about 4 minutes. Transfer to the rack and season with salt immediately. Hold the chips in the oven while you fry the fish.
• Lower the fry oil to 250 degrees F and line a plate with paper towels. Pat the excess flour from the fish, then coat in the batter. Gently lower the fish into the oil and fry until golden brown and the fish is cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer the fish to the lined plate and season with salt. Serve with Tartar Sauce, chips and lemon wedges.

Refrigerate 30 minutes or up to 1 hour. Lift the colander out of the ice water, rinse the potatoes well and pat very dry.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Heat 4 inches vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven until a deep-fry thermometer registers 280 degrees F. Add half of the potatoes; fry until tender but still colorless, about 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with the remaining potatoes. Increase the oil temperature to 365 degrees F.

BEER-BATTERED FISH AND CHIPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
• For the chips: Fill a 6- to 8-quart Dutch oven with oil to a depth of about 5 inches. Heat to 365 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer.
• Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise, then cut each half into thirds lengthwise, making wide strips. Place the potatoes in a medium saucepan with enough cold water to cover by about 1 inch. Salt the water generously and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer for about 5 minutes. Drain the potatoes and transfer them to a sheet pan lined with paper towels to dry for about 10 minutes. Once the potatoes are very dry, working in 2 batches, gently transfer them to the oil and fry until golden brown and crispy, 3 to 6 minutes.
• Transfer the chips to a rack set over a baking sheet and sprinkle immediately with 1 to 2 teaspoons salt. Keep warm in the oven while you fry the fish. (You can also reheat them with a quick second fry while fish is cooling slightly.)
• For the fish: Place the fillets on a small baking sheet or large plate, blot dry with paper towels and sprinkle on all sides with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Move the fish to one side and place 1/2 cup of flour on the other side (this flour is for dusting the fish just before dipping it in batter). Season the flour with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper.
• To make the batter, place the remaining 1 cup flour, garlic powder, paprika, baking powder, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl. Stir together with a fork until combined. When ready to fry, pour in the beer and whisk until smooth. The batter should be the consistency of fairly thin pancake batter.
• Dredge the fish on all sides in the flour on the baking sheet. Shake off any excess. Working in 2 batches, coat one fillet at time in the batter, letting excess drip back into the bowl. Gently lower the fillet into the hot oil. Repeat with the remaining fillets. Fry until GBD (golden brown and delicious), 4 to 6 minutes, turning over midway through cooking.
• Drain the fillets on a rack set over a sheet pan. Serve immediately with the chips. Classic condiments to serve alongside include malt vinegar, tartar sauce or HP Sauce.
