The crispy fish with its caper dip is a British favourite
SERVES 4
INGREDIENTS
FOR THE TARTARE SAUCE
* 2 egg yolks * 1 tbsp Dijon mustard * 1 tbsp white-wine vinegar * 200ml vegetable oil * A squeeze of lemon juice * 1/2 red onion, chopped * 1 tbsp gherkins, roughly chopped * 1 tbsp capers, roughly chopped * 4-5 green olives, chopped * A small handful of parsley, finely chopped
FOR THE FISH AND CHIPS
* 6 tbsp plain flour * Vegetable oil, for deep-frying * 8 large Maris Piper potatoes, peeled and cut into chunky chips * 4 x 150g cod fillets * 6 tbsp cornflour * 400-500ml ale
METHOD
1. To make the tartare sauce, whisk together the egg yolks, mustard and vinegar. Start to add the oil, a few drops at a time at first, whisking constantly. As the mixture begins to emulsify, add the oil in a thin and steady stream until you have a thick and creamy mayonnaise. Taste, season with salt and pepper and add a squeeze of lemon juice. Stir in the onion, gherkins, capers, olives and parsley. The sauce should be piquant, chunky and have the consistency of very thick double cream. 2. To make the fish and chips, mix the flours together with a pinch of salt. Whisk in enough ale to make a batter with the consistency of double cream. 3. Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan or deep-fat fryer to 140C. Cook the chips for 8-9 minutes, or until just tender, and set aside. Turn up the heat of the oil to 190C. Working in batches, dip the cod into the batter and drop carefully into the hot oil, which should immediately sizzle. Shake the frying basket gently so they don't stick, and fry for 3-5 minutes. Drain on kitchen paper. 4. Return the chips to the hot oil for 2-3 minutes more to crisp. Serve at once with the cod and tartare sauce.
