Fish and chips

Ingredients

• 4 cod fillets
• 150 g flour
• 200 ml cold beer or sparkling water
• Potatoes for chips
• Peas
• Tartar sauce

How to make it

1. Cut potatoes into chips and fry until golden. Use medium-high heat to get color, then lower to medium so the inside cooks through without burning. Turn only when the first side has a firm golden crust.
2. Whisk flour with cold liquid and salt. Work in a bowl for 2-3 minutes until the mixture looks even, then let it rest for 10-20 minutes so the flour, meat or spices hydrate properly.
3. Dip fish in batter and fry until crisp. Use medium-high heat to get color, then lower to medium so the inside cooks through without burning. Turn only when the first side has a firm golden crust.
4. Serve with chips, peas, lemon and tartar sauce. Taste once more before serving. Add salt, acid, herbs or a spoon of sauce at the end while the dish is still hot.
