Description
Fish and chips is a very popular dish that originated in the United Kingdom, now a popular take-away food in countries with English origin such as New Zealand, Australia, US, Canada, Scotland and Ireland.
Ingredients
Scale
Fish
- 6–8 white filleted fleshy fish, (i.e. cod, snapper, tilapia, lemon fish)
- 1 bottle beer
- 2 cups flour
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp cayenne
- freshly ground black pepper
- salt
- oil
Chips
- 4 large potatoes, cut into thick strips
Instructions
- In a large bowl gently mix together beer, 1 1/2 cups sifted flour into the bowl, salt, pepper, garlic powder and cayenne. Set it aside.
- Season fish with salt and freshly ground black pepper then dredge in the remaining 1/2 cup of flour. Set it aside.
- Prepare a deep fryer then fry the potatoes for 8-10 minutes, Once cooked place potatoes in a paper towel-lined baking sheet then let it keep warm in an oven
- Dip fish pieces one by one in the batter then slowly slide fish in batches into the hot deep fryer, cook for 5 minutes. Remove fish from deep fryer then place them in a paper towel-lined baking sheet then let it keep warm in an oven. Do the same thing with the rest of the fish.
- Place fish and chips in a white paper lined newspaper then serve (BTW that’s how it’s served here in Fish and Chips shop).
I have been toying about making fish and chips for dinner so many times but my hubby seems not around most of the time for dinner. Also, have not done any cooking or frying with beer but am going to not only make fish and chips but also like this recipe of yours with the beer. Heard that the beer contributes to the crispy and puffy crispy later on top. Nice and with some tartar sauce, all the more.
Your fish and chips look perfect!

Congrats on the domain name, the fish looks so crispy!
Our fave, fish and chips! This is the usual order whenever our family are in the music bar we love to hang-out to. Pero your fish looks more crispy and tastier. Made me curious, kung ano lasa ng fish na may beer. Will sure try this! Tnx anf TC!

A COMFORT classic! I *miss* the NW-style fish-and-chips places (Spud, Ivar’s, etc) since we moved to Texas from Washington state. Maybe I’ll have to try your yummy looking pub style ones!
Dear Raymund
I think the English use vinegar for their chips while we prefer tartare or tomato sauce. My urge is to eat that fish before it becomes a steam trap and make those delicious chips soggy 🙂

had dined once in an english pub in thailand and i’m not sure if i like it. but i was able to finish everything. maybe i was just very hungry then..
Yum good job of the beer battering on the fish. It looks delicious and perfectly crispy. I like the use of garlic powder and cayenne to spice up the batter a bit.
