Fish and Chips is the English name for fried fish with French fries in the United Kingdom, and today we'll see how to make it.

This recipe is also great for kids who are picky about eating fish, since the batter turns out super crispy and no one can resist it.

Serve it with British-style fries and dip it in ketchup or mayonnaise.

Steps

1

In a bowl, combine the flour, salt, pepper, and baking powder. Add the beer and whisk until you have a smooth batter.
2

Cut the fish fillets into pieces. I used hake fillets, but cod is the classic choice. Season the fish with salt and dredge each piece in flour. This step is important to help the batter stick during frying.
3

Dip each piece of fish into the batter, then fry in vegetable oil over medium-high heat for 3 to 4 minutes per side.
4

Fry until evenly golden brown.
5

Remove the fish and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with French fries or a salad. The result is really crispy.
