Instructions

  1. Prepare the potatoes in a bowl with cold water.
  2. Put the flour, cornmeal, baking powder and salt in a bowl and mix with the beer and egg. Let rest for 20 minutes.
  3. Heat the oil to 175 ° C.
  4. Dry the potatoes well and fry them in the oil (note the temperature) until they are soft (no more bubbles appear), then pour them onto paper kitchen towels.
  5. Dip the fish fillets individually in the batter, add them to the hot oil and deep-fry until golden (note the temperature).
  6. Bake in the oven on the grid (so that the oil drips off) at 250 ° C (don`t forget the drip tray).
  7. Fry the potatoes for another 1-2 minutes until crispy.
  8. Serve with malt vinegar and salt. In England this dish is still wrapped in a newspaper in some shops.

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
