Instructions

1. Prepare the Potatoes:

   • Cut the potatoes lengthwise into ½-inch strips. 🥔🔪

2. Heat the Oil:

   • In a deep fryer or a Dutch oven, heat oil (enough to cover the potatoes, about 2 to 3 inches) to 375°F (190°C). 🌡️

3. Fry the Potatoes:

   • If using a fryer basket, fill it one-fourth full with potato strips. If not, you can use a Fry Daddy or a similar appliance. To avoid the chips sticking together, add them one at a time. 🍟
   • Slowly lower the basket into the hot oil. If the oil bubbles excessively, raise and lower the basket a few times. Use a long-handled fork to keep the potatoes separated.
   • Fry the potatoes for 5 to 7 minutes or until they turn golden brown. Remove them and drain on paper towels.
   • Place the fried potatoes in a single layer on a cookie sheet and keep them warm. Repeat with the remaining potatoes.

4. Prepare the Fish:

   • Cut the cod fillets into pieces measuring about 2 x 1½ inches. Pat them dry with paper towels. 🐟✂️

5. Make the Batter:

   • In a bowl, mix the flour and salt. In a separate bowl, mix the baking soda and vinegar. 🌸🍶
   • Stir the vinegar mixture into the flour mixture, then add water and beat until the batter is smooth.

6. Fry the Fish:

   • Dip the fish pieces into the batter, letting any excess batter drip back into the bowl.
   • Fry 4 or 5 pieces of fish at a time in the hot oil (without using the basket) for about 3 minutes, turning them once, until they are golden brown. Drain on paper towels. 🐟🛢️

7. Broil the Potatoes:

   • Set your oven to broil. Place the fried potatoes about 6 inches from the heat source and broil for 2 to 3 minutes until they are crisp. 🔥🍟

8. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Sprinkle the fish and chips generously with Kosher salt and a splash of malt vinegar. Serve immediately and enjoy this delicious meal with your family! 🧂🍽️❤️

Pro Tips:

• Make sure to pat the fish fillets dry to ensure the batter sticks well.
• For extra crispy chips, you can double fry them. Fry them once to cook through, let them cool, and fry again until golden and crispy.
• Serve with homemade tartar sauce and a side of mushy peas for an authentic experience.
