Instructions

1. – Pat the fish fillets dry and set aside.

2. – In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Slowly whisk in the cold beer until a smooth, lump-free batter forms.

3. – In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F.

4. – Working in batches, dip the fish fillets into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off. Carefully lower the battered fish into the hot oil and fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.

5. – Remove the fried fish from the oil and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

6. – In the same hot oil, fry the potato fries in batches for 3-5 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate and season with additional salt if desired.

7. – Serve the hot, crispy beer-battered fish and chips immediately, with tartar sauce, lemon wedges, and your favorite condiments.

Notes

For the best results, use a light, crisp beer like a lager or pale ale. Adjust the frying time as needed to achieve the perfect crispness. The batter can be made ahead of time and refrigerated until ready to use.
