Once again I am picking another great British dish and making it mine with super flavour and textures.
Recipe Ingredients: (for two)
- 2 cod fillets (skinned)
- 4 medium potatoes (with the skin cut into wedges)
- 1/2 a glass of flour
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder
- 150mls sun-flour oil
- some coarse sea salt, black pepper, 1 tea spoon of dehydrated parsley, some olive oil
Place a pan with some boiling water and a pinch of salt on the stove medium heat to keep water boiling, put the potato wedges in and let it boil for 3-4 minutes. After this drain the wedges and place them in a bowl (meanwhile switch the oven on 200c until hot), add to the wedges 3 soup spoons of olive oil + 2 tea spoons of coarse sea salt and 2 tea spoons of the dehydrated parsley, toss it all until well mixed, distribute these wedges on a baking tray with the wedge up on each potato piece, place them in the oven and let them cook for 30-35 minutes.
Ten minutes before the potatoes are done pour the sunflower oil into a deep frying pan and let it get very hot. Meanwhile put the flour in a bowl + a pinch of coarse salt a little pepper and the tea spoon of baking powder, add some water to the consistency of thick runny yoghurt with the aid of a balloon whisk, dip the fillets in the batter and let them get a thick covering rubbing excess on the sides of the bowl and place them in the frying pan the oil should cover them.
Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown, then place them on a plate with a few kitchen towels to drain the excess fat, then just serve them with the chips (wedges) and a dollop of tartar sauce (optionally you can boil some peas and have them like that or mush them with a couple of mint leaves and some lemon juice and serve on the side)
Also the batter if you prefer instead of water you can add some beer instead for a lighter texture and more flavoursome batter, although I like the simplicity of this one I made.

Awesome recipe, the fried fish looks absolutely perfect!
Rico, a nice new twist to a traditional British version of fish n' chips. I think the addition of beer would be fabulous to the batter. Hmmm. I have to remember that-

5 Star Foodie, It was quite perfect for me the fish was extremely fresh so I can't take all the credit, it was lovely white and very flaky fantastic, the batter came out perfect for me, but is very temperamental as also varies on oils temperatures etc. loved your comment ...big kisses xxx
