Ingredients:

For the Fish:

1 lb white fish fillets (such as cod or haddock)

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 cup golden ale (beer)

Oil for frying

For the Chips:

4 large russet potatoes, peeled and cut into thick strips

2 tablespoons olive oil

Salt to taste

Instructions:

Prepare the Chips: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the potato strips with olive oil and salt. Spread them out on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.

Prepare the Batter: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually whisk in the golden ale until the batter is smooth and thick.

Batter the Fish: Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels. Dip each fillet into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off.

Fry the Fish: Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Carefully lower the battered fish fillets into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

Serve: Serve the golden ale-battered fish with the crispy chips, accompanied by tartar sauce and lemon wedges.
