Let's Get Started

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
2. Gradually add the cold water to the flour mixture, whisking until smooth and thick.
3. Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 375°F (190°C).
4. Dip each fish fillet into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off, then carefully place it into the hot oil.
5. Fry the fish for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels.
6. In a separate pot, heat vegetable oil to 325°F (165°C).
7. Add the cut potatoes to the hot oil and fry for about 5-6 minutes, or until golden and crispy. Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels.
8. Increase the oil temperature to 375°F (190°C) and fry the potatoes again for another 2-3 minutes, or until extra crispy. Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels.
9. Season the fried potatoes with salt to taste.
10. Serve the crispy fish and chips with malt vinegar and tartar sauce on the side.
