Prepare the Beer Batter and Fish
Fry the Fish and Finish the Chips (Second Fry)
Serve Immediately
While cod is classic, haddock or pollock are also excellent choices for their firm, flaky texture.
For a non-alcoholic version, replace the beer with an equal amount of very cold sparkling water or club soda. The carbonation helps create a light, airy batter.
Serve with a side of traditional mushy peas. You can make them from scratch using dried marrowfat peas or find canned versions in most international food aisles.
Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a teaspoon of your favorite hot sauce to the batter for a spicy kick.
Cod is packed with high-quality lean protein, which is essential for building and repairing tissues, supporting muscle growth, and maintaining overall body function.
The fish provides beneficial omega-3 fatty acids, which are known to support heart health by reducing inflammation and improving cholesterol levels, as well as promoting brain health.
This meal offers several key vitamins and minerals. Fish is a good source of vitamin B12 and iodine, while potatoes provide potassium and vitamin C.
One serving of homemade Fish and Chips contains approximately 850-1000 calories, depending on the size of the portions and the amount of oil absorbed during frying. The tartar sauce adds extra calories.
Fish and Chips is a high-calorie, high-fat dish due to the deep-frying method. While the fish itself provides lean protein and omega-3s, the overall meal is best enjoyed as an occasional treat rather than a regular part of a health-focused diet.
Cod is the traditional and most popular choice. Haddock is another excellent option, known for its slightly sweeter flavor. Pollock and halibut also work well as they are firm, white fish that hold up to frying.
Yes, you can. The carbonation in the beer is key to a light batter. You can substitute the beer with an equal amount of very cold sparkling water or club soda to achieve a similar crispy result.
The secret is the two-stage frying process. The first fry at a lower temperature cooks the potato through, making it fluffy inside. The second fry at a higher temperature creates that perfect golden, crispy exterior.
For the best results, reheat fish and chips in an oven or air fryer at 375°F (190°C) for 10-15 minutes, or until heated through and crispy again. Avoid using a microwave, as it will make the batter and chips soggy.
