The perfect fish and chips - the kiwi way with crunchy beer-battered fish.
Growing up in New Zealand, fish and chips was a family treat. Every now and then, we’d head down to the local fish and chip shop to get a crunchy battered fish with crispy chips. I spent a lot of time in the UK as well so fish and chips has always been a guilty pleasure of mine. Here’s how you can create fish and chips at home that’s as good as your local!

Recipe
Ingredients
Fish
150-200g of fish, per person
100g tapioca flour
200g flour
1 egg
1 bottle beer
Tartar sauce
150g mayonnaise
1 shallot, finely diced
2 pickles, finely diced
30g capers, finely diced
Zest of one lemon
Small bunch parsley, finely cut
Chips
2-3 potatoes, per person (I used dutch creams. King Edward, Maris Piper, Romano, Désirée, or russet potatoes also work great)
Oil for frying
Salt
Method
1. Start by mixing your batter and letting it rest in the fridge for at least 1 hour but up to 24 hours.
2. Wash your potatoes and cut them into chips. Then, put them in a pot with cold water and bring to a boil. Once boiling, cook it for 4-5 minutes or until the potatoes are just cooked.
3. Remove them from the water and place on a wire rack and into the freezer to dry for 1 hour. Alternatively, you can do this the day before and just leave them in the fridge overnight.
4. For the tartar sauce, mix everything in the ingredients list and leave in the fridge until you need.
5. Next, heat your oil to 140°C and cook your potatoes for 9-10 minutes or until they just start changing colour.
6. Remove the potatoes from the boil and place them back on the wire rack and in the fridge or freezer to cool again.
7. When it's time to cook the fish, heat the oil to 180°C. Dust your fish in seasoned flour shaking off the excess and place it into the batter. Slowly lower the battered fish into the hot oil and let it cook for 9-10 minutes or until your batter is crispy and golden.
8. Remove the fish from the oil and place on a wire rack and season immediately with salt.
9. Next, cook your chips in the 180°c oil for 4-5 minutes or until golden brown.
10. Serve your fish and chips with tartar sauce and a wedge of lemon.
11. Enjoy
