This ensures very thin, even slices every time. Use proper care, as it is an exposed blade - when you get to about an inch left of potato, start on a new one -Soak in water for a few minutes to remove the starch -Strain and pat dry - you don't want water getting into your hot oil -Add chips to the oil, regularly stirring so they don't stick together -Remove when they've taken a nice golden color - bang off any excess oil -Blot out the oil on a paper towel -Season with a few fresh herbs, parsley, chives, thyme are a nice flavor mix. Finish with salt and pepper. For the Fish: -Portion out your fillet into 2-3 oz strips -Whisk your egg and add flour to form it into a batter -Now add a bit of beer - the consistency you're looking for is pretty close to pancake batter -Double check that your oil is ~ 300 degrees - because you want the fish to cook and the batter to fry evenly -Dip the fish lightly into the batter and drop it straight into the oil for ~ 10 minutes Serve fish and chips together. Garnish with your tartar sauce, Malt Vinegar, and Lemon.
