Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients for 4 people:

• 4 fillets of white fish (haddock, cod or pollock)
• 4 large potatoes, peeled and cut into thick chips
• 150g of all-purpose flour
• 200ml of cold sparkling water
• Salt and black pepper
• Vegetable oil, for frying
• Vinegar and tartar sauce, to serve

Preparation:

Get ready to dive into the delightful world of fish and chips! First, pat dry the fish fillets with paper towels and season them with salt and pepper. Set aside while you prepare the batter.

In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and sparkling water to make a smooth batter. It should have a thick, but runny consistency - just like the texture of double cream. If it's too thick, add a little more water.

Now, it's time to heat the oil. Fill a deep, heavy-bottomed pan halfway with oil and heat it to 180°C (356°F). Be cautious and stay safe around hot oil!

Dip each fish fillet into the batter, ensuring it's completely coated, and carefully lower it into the hot oil. Fry the fish for about 4-5 minutes until it's golden and crispy. Once done, remove the fish from the oil and place it on a plate lined with kitchen paper to absorb any excess oil.

While the fish is resting, it's the perfect time to fry the chips. Pat the potato chips with kitchen paper to remove any excess moisture, then carefully add them to the hot oil. Fry the chips for about 3-4 minutes until they are golden and crispy.

Once the chips are ready, remove them from the oil and place them on a plate lined with kitchen paper. Finally, season the fish and chips with salt and vinegar, and serve with a side of tartar sauce. Get ready to enjoy a taste of England in your own home!

There you have it, a fantastic English staple made by your own hands. Don't worry - it's easier than it looks! You've just created a dish that's a favorite worldwide.
