Equipment

  • Deep Fryer - Professional quality deep fryers provide precise temperature control for optimal crispiness in fish and chips.

  • Potato Ricer or Masher - Perfects the texture of mashed potatoes, an essential component for a traditional British fish and chips experience.

  • Fish Frying Skillet (Fry Pan) - Ideal for shallow frying fish fillets with even heat distribution to avoid burning while achieving golden-brown crusts.

  • Oil Filtration System (Oil Extractor) - For deep-fryers, an oil filter helps maintain freshness of oil by removing food particles and contaminants for longer frying cycles.

  • Baking Sheet or Fish Tray - For healthier versions of the dish, a baking sheet can be used in an oven to cook the potatoes and fish together.

  • Cutting Board - Essential for safely preparing ingredients like onions, peppers, and ensuring clean cuts.

  • Chef's Knife - A versatile tool for chopping vegetables, cutting into chips or wedges, and various prep tasks in the kitchen.

  • Digital Thermometer - Ensures that both fish and potatoes are cooked to perfection without overcooking.

  • Fish Flip Net - A convenient tool to handle fish while it's in the pan or deep fryer, reducing mess and ensuring even cooking.

  • Serving Platter - For presenting a beautiful dish of fish and chips at the table.

4. Increase heat until the oil reaches a temperature of 375°F. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, and eggs. Pour in the soda water and whisk until the batter is smooth. Spread the rice flour on a separate plate. Dredge the fish pieces in it, then dip them into the batter, letting the excess drip off.

5. Put the chips in the bottom of a fryer basket (or use a slotted spoon) and carefully submerge them in the hot oil. Carefully add the fish to the bubbling oil. Fry the fish-and-chips until crispy and brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the basket and drain the fish-and-chips on paper towels; season lightly with the salt and pepper. Serve with the Aioli and Mignonette Dipping Sauce .
