Ingredients

• 4 pieces Cod or haddock fillets
• 4 pieces Potatoes (large, such as Russet or Maris Piper)
• 200 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 50 grams Cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 250 ml Chilled sparkling water
• 1500 ml Vegetable oil (for frying)
• 4 pieces Lemon wedges
• 0 Salt (for seasoning)
• 0 Vinegar

Directions

Step 1

Begin by washing and peeling the potatoes. Cut them into thick strips, about 1/2 inch wide. Rinse the potato strips under cold running water to remove excess starch, then pat them dry with paper towels.

Step 2

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large deep pan to 325°F (165°C).

Step 3

In the meantime, mix the gluten-free flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Gradually whisk in the chilled sparkling water to form a smooth batter. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 4

Once the oil reaches the desired temperature, carefully lower the potato strips into the oil in batches. Fry them for about 4-5 minutes until they are just soft, removing and setting them aside on a paper towel-lined tray.

Step 5

Increase the oil temperature to 350°F (175°C).

Step 6

Prepare the fish by patting the fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with a little salt.

Step 7

Dip each fillet into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off, then carefully place them into the hot oil.

Step 8

Fry the fish for 6-8 minutes, or until the batter is golden brown and crispy, and the fish is cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Step 9

Once all the fish is cooked, return the pre-fried chips to the hot oil. Fry for another 3-4 minutes until they are golden and crispy. Drain them on paper towels and season with salt.

Step 10

Serve the crispy fish and chips hot, with lemon wedges and vinegar on the side for additional seasoning.
