Fresh Fish

 
Fish and Chips
Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup cornmeal
  • 4 to 6 ounces ale (beer)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 4 cups vegetable oil for frying
  • 4 large russet potatoes
  • 2 pounds fish fillets, cut in half, crosswise
Directions:
  • Preheat oven to 250° F.
  • Prepare batter: Mix flour, cornmeal and salt together. Add ale and
    mix well. Batter should be thin.
  • Cut potatoes in even, finger-sized pieces.
  • Heat oil in deep fryer. DO NOT FILL TO TOP. The potatoes and the fish
    will cause the oil to bubble. Allow room for the oil to rise.
  • Cook 1/3 of the potatoes until golden brown, about five minutes.
    Drain on paper towels. Place in warmed oven. Repeat process until
    potatoes are done. Do not put in too many potatoes at a time. It will
    cool the oil too much.
  • Dip fish in batter, allowing excess to drip off. Fry in batches until
    golden brown, about 5 to 8 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Keep warm
    in oven until all fish are cooked.
  • Wrap in tabloid newspaper shaped like a cone. If lacking, a plate
    will have to suffice. Serve with a sprinkling of malt vinegar.
    Serves: 4
