Ingredients
  

  • 4 fillets white fish cut into strips
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup cold sparkling water
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 4 large potatoes peeled and cut into chips
  • cups vegetable oil for frying
  • 1 lemon wedges for serving
  • to taste salt and pepper

Equipment

  • Deep frying pan or pot
  • Slotted spoon
  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Paper towels
  • Thermometer (optional)

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Slowly pour in the sparkling water while whisking until the batter is smooth and lump-free. Let it rest for 10 minutes.
  2. Pour vegetable oil into a deep frying pan, filling it about halfway. Heat the oil to 350°F (175°C).
  3. Add the potato chips to the hot oil in small batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes per batch. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
  4. Dip each fish strip into the batter, letting the excess drip off.
  5. Carefully place the battered fish into the hot oil and fry for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.
  6. Arrange the fish fingers and chips on a platter. Add lemon wedges for serving.

Notes

To keep the batter extra light, chill your mixing bowl and whisk before preparing to maintain its consistency. You can use club soda instead of sparkling water if needed, and feel free to swap the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend for a gluten-free version. Consider making a baked version for a healthier option—simply bake at 425°F for 20 minutes. Store leftovers in an airtight container lined with paper towels and reheat in the oven at 375°F for optimal crispiness. Enjoy with tartar sauce or malt vinegar for added flavor!
