Friday Night Fish & Chips
Fish & Chips Have Been A Traditional English Friday Evening Fare For Generations.
Loblaws In Fairview Mall Have Included Fish & Chips In Their Take-put Service, But Any Canadian Can Do It Up Just As Well As The British By Following This Simple Recipe.
1 Cup All-purpose Flour
2 Rounded Tsp Baking Powder
1 Cup Cold Water
1 ½ Lbs Cod, Sole, Halibut Or Any White Fish Fillets
Sift The Measured Flour Into A Mixing Bowl. Add 1 Teaspoon Of Salt & Baking Powder. Pour In The Water & Beat The Mixture With A Wire Whisk Until Completely Blended. Put Into The Refrigerator For 30 Minutes. Beat Lightly Again Before Using.
Sprinkle The Fish Fillets Lightly With Salt & Leave For 30 Minutes.
Heat The Deep Fat Fryer To 365°f. If The Fryer Is Not Thermostatically Controlled, Drop In A Bit Of The Batter. It Should Rise To The Top Within Seconds & Be A Golden Brown Colour.
Draw The Fish Through The Batter So That Each Piece Is Coated On Both Sides. Drop The Fish Into The Hot Oil Carefully, But Do Not Overcrowd The Fryer Or The Fillets Will Stick Together & The Heat Will Drop Drastically. If Necessary, Cut The Fillets In Half To Make Smaller Portions.
The Fillets Will Rise To The Top. After 2 Minutes, Turn Each One Over. The Batter Should Be Golden Brown. Cook A Further 2 Minutes & Remove The Fish. Drain Briefly N Absorbent Paper. Salt & Pepper Before Serving.
Serves 4 – 6.
To Make The Chips, Heat The Deep Fat Fryer To 300°f. Peel The Potatoes, Cut Them Into Batons, Wash Them In Cold Water To Remove Excess Starch, Then Dry With Absorbent Paper Towelling.
The First Stage Of The Cooking Can Be Done In Advance, So You Can Use The Sauce Fryer For The Fish & The Chips.
Put The Potatoes Into The Heated Deep Fat & Cook Until The Potatoes Are Tender But Not Browned. Remove The Chops & Set Aside Until Needed For Final Browning.
After The Fish Has Been Cooked & While It’s Draining, Raise The Deep Fat Temperature To 385°f. As Soon As It Reaches This Temperature, Return The Chips To The Deep Fat. It Will Take Just About A Minute To Fry A Crisp Brown. Remove, Drain, & Salt Before Serving.Doughnuts
