Ingredients

French Fries

  • 2 medium Potatoes peeled and cut into 1/4 inch thick sticks (about 1/2 lb of potato per portion)
  • 4 cups Canola oil or your preferred high smoke point frying oil
  • 4 TBSP Ketchup

Tartar Sauce:

  • 5 TBSP Mayonnaise
  • 2 tsp Sweet relish
  • 1/2 TBSP Capers rinsed and chopped
  • 1/2 tsp Lemon juice

Seasoning

  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste

Fish

  • 1 cup All-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup Cornstarch
  • 2 tsp Baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp Paprika
  • 1.5 cups Light beer use as needed (sub club soda)
  • 10 oz Pollock skin off
  • 2 wedges Lemon

Iced Tea

  • 24 oz Iced tea cold
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Prep the ingredients per the instructions above.
  • Place the potatoes into a large bowl and cover completely with cold water for 20 minutes.
  • Make Tartar Sauce: Combine all ingredients until fully combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Blanch the fries:
    If using the oven: heat the oven to 350°F (176°C). Place fries on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cook in the oven until tender, about 15 to 20 minutes.
    If using oil: heat the oil to 300°F (150°C) in a Dutch oven or deep fryer. Fry fries in small batches until softened, about 6 to 10 minutes.
  • Once the fries are soft, set them aside to cool. Heat the oil to 375°F (190°C).
  • Prep fish batter: Combine flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and paprika, and season with salt and pepper in a large bowl, then whisk to combine.
  • Fry the fries: Cook the fries in small batches and cook until crispy and golden brown (overcrowding the oil will result in limp fries). Remove to a paper towel-lined large bowl and season with salt immediately to taste.
  • Batter and fry the fish: Stir in the beer a little at a time (or club soda) to the flour/cornstarch mixture until a thick batter is just formed. (A few small lumps of dry flour are ok.) Transfer fish to batter and turn to coat. Working one piece at a time, pick up the fish and allow excess batter to drip back into the bowl. Carefully lower it into the hot oil. Repeat with the remaining fish.
  • Cook, turning the fish until it is golden brown and crisp on all sides, about 6-8 minutes, to an internal temperature of 140°F (60°C) using a thermometer. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and season immediately with salt.
  • Serve the fish with tartar sauce, lemon wedge, french fries, ketchup, and iced tea.
