Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 30 minutes

Cooking Time 20 minutes

Ingredients

Lemon wedges, for serving

For the batter

1 T baking powder
2 T cornflour
1 T cake flour
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 x 340 ml can beer
For the fish
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 x 200 g portions hake or kingklip, bones and scales removed
Juice of 1 lemon
3 cups oil, for deep-frying
Flour, for coating

For the chips

4 large potatoes
Salt

For the tartar sauce, combine

1 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup minced gherkin
1/3 cup minced caper
1/3 cup minced onion
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 clove garlic, chopped
Juice of 1 lemon
2 t chopped parsley

Method

To make the batter: Sift together the dry ingredients. Slowly whisk in the beer, until the batter has a pancake-mixture consistency.

To prepare the fish: Season the fish and squeeze over the lemon juice. Cut each fi llet into long strips lengthways. Heat the oil to 200ºC – this should take approximately 3 minutes. Dust the fish in flour then dip it into the batter. Deepfry in the hot oil for 7 minutes, or until crisp and golden. Remove and drain on paper towel.

To make the chips: Cut the potatoes into 10 mm thick slices. Blanch in salted boiling water, until almost cooked, then submerge in ice-cold water. Add the chips to the hot oil and, when cooked and crispy, drain on paper towel and season with salt.

To serve: Plate the fish and chips, and serve with the salad and lemon wedges, with the tartar sauce on the side.
