Ingredients

Method

1.Sift flours and salt into a medium bowl; whisk in beer until batter is smooth.
2.Heat oil in a wok or large heavy-based saucepan over moderate heat (oil is ready when a cube of bread crisps quickly without absorbing oil). Deep-fry potato, in batches, for 2-3 minutes or until tender but not brown. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to paper towels.
3.Toss fish, one piece at a time, in extra plain flour, then dip in batter; drain away excess. Deep-fry fish, in batches, until batter is crisp and fish is cooked. Drain on paper towels. Keep warm in a low oven.
4.Reheat oil. Deep-fry chips once more, in batches, until crisp and golden. Drain on paper towels. Serve fish and chips with tartare sauce and lemon wedges.

We used whiting fillets; try flathead, perch or barramundi instead. Use any beer except heavy stout. Try mineral water instead of beer. Fry chips twice so they’re crisp on the outside and soft inside.
