Today I saw that cod was on sale at the market and decided to make something that has been on my “list” for a little while – Fish and chips. I love fish n chips and order it fairly often when I go out (not as much anymore because I can’t eat as much fried food as I used to). But, I have never actually attempted to make it before – until now. Unfortunately this meal took forever to make because I have a TINY fryer and could only cook a handful of fries at a time and one fish at a time. But all in all, it turned out pretty good, and I would try it again in the future.

Ingredients

• Cod fillets
• Russet potatoes
• Salt and Pepper
• 2 cups of flour
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp backing soda
• 12 oz of club soda/beer
• 1lb shredded cabbage
• 1/2 cup mayo
• Juice 1 lemon
• 2 tsp apple cider vinegar
• Oil for frying
• Tartar sauce

Directions for fish

• Lightly salt and pepper the cod fillets
• Mix the flour, baking soda, egg, 2 tsp salt, dash of pepper, and club soda/beer in a large mixing bowl and let sit for 30 min
• Coat the cod fillets in the batter and fry until golden brown (~3-4 min)

Directions for fries

• Cut the potatoes into desired size
• Place the fries in a large bowl with ice and water
• Drain and dry the fries with paper towels
• Fry the fries until crisp (may want to double fry)
• Salt to taste

Cole Slaw

• Mix the mayo, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, a pinch of salt, and a dash of pepper
• Pour over the shredded lettuce and mix thoroughly

This is a classic meal, albeit a heavy one. Hope you enjoy it though!
