I saw some really great wild cod fillets today at the market and decided to get some. I was going to write a long thing about how delicious the golden crust and the soft, tender fish in the center are, and the crispy chips, but it’s fish & chips, it needs no introduction, so, let’s make some!

You need:
- 1 1/2 lb cod fillets
- 1/2 lb flours
- 1 1/3 cup beer/club soda
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp honey;
- a pinch of salt
- 3 potatoes
- 5 cups peanut oil
How to make this:
- Mix the flours, beer, baking soda, honey and salt into a batter, and place the batter in the fridge to cool it down
- Peel and slice the potatoes and cut them into 1-inch wide strip, boil it in salt water for 5-8 min, drain it and let it cools down
- Heat the oil to 180C/355F degrees
- Season the fish with salt & pepper and coat a layer of flour. Then cover it in the batter and slowly drop it in the oil
- Fry the fish for about 5 min and let it drain on some paper towel
- Heat the oil to about 190C/375F degrees, dry the potatoes and fry them for about 8 to 12 min, stir from time to time, drain after they are done
- Sever it with a couple slices of lemon, some vinegar or ketchup
