In the video below you can see how I make the fish & chips (and the sauce) in one minute:

Preparation of fish & chips

Tartar sauce: Mix all the ingredients for the tartar sauce in a bowl and set aside until you are ready to serve the fish & chips.

Pat the fish pieces dry. Then sprinkle them with a little salt and coat the fish in some cornstarch. Tap excess starch from the fish and set the fish aside for a while.

Heat a pan with oil to 180°C. Fry the fries until golden brown, remove from the oil and sprinkle with some salt. Or you can just make frozen fries if you want a quick option.

Batter: mix the flour, baking powder and the "The Original" spices in a bowl. Pour in the beer and beat until smooth.

Dip the fish in the batter to coat it evenly and carefully drop it into the hot oil (watch your fingers!).

Fry the fish pieces for 5-6 minutes or until golden brown and done. Serve the fish & chips with the tartar sauce. Enjoy your meal!
