Instructions

Fish

Step 1

To make the fish batter, whisk together the cold plain flour, baking powder and turmeric in a large bowl. Place the cornflour in a large, wide bowl or tray.

Step 2

Whisk the cold beer into the plain flour mixture. Salt your fish pieces, then coat each piece on all sides in the cornflour. Shake off the excess and then dip the fish into the batter before gently placing into the hot oil. Use your fingers to drizzle over extra batter to make crispy bits. Repeat with remaining fish fillets. Cook for 5–6 minutes or until each piece is golden, crisp and cooked through.

Step 3

Transfer the chips and fish pieces to serving plates. Season with salt, then splash over some malt vinegar. Serve with curry sauce and mushy peas on the side.
