I had never cooked this delicious fish before, though I had eaten it many ways. Then came my moment of doubt: I was working from home when my mother-in-law called... 'Could you cook? I'll be home later.' I panicked—help, I don't know how to make this! But with a few tips and a couple of onions, everyone enjoyed this amazing fish... and best of all, now I know how to make it! 😂😂😂

Steps

35 minutes

1

Cut the potatoes slightly thicker than chips and slice the garlic cloves thickly. Fry both in plenty of oil until golden, then set aside.
2

Slice the onions very thinly using a mandoline. Soak them in 1 can of beer, 1/2 cup (120 ml) water, and salt for about 15 minutes. (You can find my onion ring recipe in my recipe collection.)
3

Season the fish with salt and dredge in flour. Fry in plenty of hot oil on both sides until golden. Repeat with all 4 fish.
4

Fry the onion rings in hot, light olive oil until golden. Once browned, remove them. After draining the liquid and coating with flour, shake off any excess flour using a strainer—this helps keep the oil clean longer.
5

To serve, layer the potatoes, then the fish, and top with the onion rings. If you don't like potato chips, you can use pan-fried potatoes or oven-roasted potatoes as a base.
6

Ready to enjoy the contrast between the crispy chips and onion rings and the tender, juicy fish. We'll definitely make this again!
