INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup cornmeal
4 to 6 ounces ale (beer)
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 cups vegetable oil for frying
4 large russet potatoes
2 pounds fish fillets, cut in half, crosswise
METHOD
Preheat oven to 250° F.
Prepare batter: Mix flour, cornmeal and salt together. Add ale and
mix well. Batter should be thin.
Cut potatoes in even, finger-sized pieces.
Heat oil in deep fryer. DO NOT FILL TO TOP. The potatoes and the fish
will cause the oil to bubble. Allow room for the oil to rise.
Cook 1/3 of the potatoes until golden brown, about five minutes.
Drain on paper towels. Place in warmed oven. Repeat process until
potatoes are done. Do not put in too many potatoes at a time. It will
cool the oil too much.
Dip fish in batter, allowing excess to drip off. Fry in batches until
golden brown, about 5 to 8 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Keep warm
in oven until all fish are cooked.
Wrap in tabloid newspaper shaped like a cone. If lacking, a plate
will have to suffice. Serve with a sprinkling of malt vinegar.
