Fish and Chips

Ingredients:

500g fish fillets (cod or haddock)

2 potatoes

200g all-purpose flour

100g cornstarch

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp salt

Water, as needed

Oil, as needed

Steps:

Peel and cut the potatoes into thin fries. Soak them in cold water for 10 minutes to remove excess starch, then drain and pat dry.

Cut the fish fillets into 5-6cm strips.

In a bowl, mix the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add water, stirring until a smooth batter forms.

Dip the fish strips in the batter to coat evenly.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the fish strips until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.

Remove the fish from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain excess oil on paper towels.

Fry the potato fries until golden brown, about 5-6 minutes, and drain on paper towels.

Serve the fish and chips with tartar sauce or ketchup.
