Fish and chips is one of Britain's favourite and most famous take-aways, often accompanied with Chip Shop Curry Sauce. Here is a simple recipe to have that unique melt-in-your-mouth fried fish at home.

SERVES 4 , 4 -8 white fish fillets (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Half-fill a deep pan with melted fat or oil.
  2. 2
    Heat until a faint haze rises from it (or until a bread cube sinks to the bottom of the pan, rises to the top immediately and turns golden in 50 seconds).
  3. 3
    Sift the flour and salt into a bowl.
  4. 4
    Beat to a smooth batter with unbeaten egg, butter and milk.
  5. 5
    Coat 2 pieces of fish with batter.
  6. 6
    Lift into the pan with a fork or kitchen tongs.
  7. 7
    Fry until crisp and golden, allowing about 6-8 minutes for large pieces and 4-5 minutes for medium.
  8. 8
    Remove from the pan and drain on unprinted (white) newspaper.
  9. 9
    Garnish with lemon wedges, and serve with Fish and Chip Shop Curry Sauce (Recipezaar#17175).

These turned out very good. My kids are always asking for fried fish when I buy some at the store. I tried your recipe and this turned out perfect. Thank you for a good fish and chips recipe.

    This was yummy. My DH and I really enjoyed it while my kids were a bit less enthusiastic. I made Tartar Sauce to accompany it, and that was very tasty as well. I used small-medium tilapia fillets and cooked in canola oil for approximately 3 1/2 minutes. I agree with other posters that the fish didn't have much of a taste, but for us the tasty batter combined with the mild fish and the tartar sauce (ketchup for the kids) worked well. Will likely make again.

    Tried this last night. It was quite tasty. I modified only a few things....I didn't have selfraising flour, so I added heaping 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder, and a dash of salt to 1/2 cup of all purpose flour. I also added some garlic powder, and cayenne to the batter for some added flavour. I used red snapper for the fish. We served it with some oven fries, broccoli and homemade tartar sauce. It turned our really well. I'd make a few changes though... next time I'll reduce the milk to half a cup (4 ounces instead of 5), as I think it would have been better if the batter was a teeny bit thicker, and would definitely season the fish before dipping in the batter. The batter was delicious, but the fish was a bit too mild in flavour for our tastes. I will definitely make again. Thanks!

    I used tilapia. I took a tip from another reviewer who didn't have self rising flour and used the baking powder. We had this with fries and tomato and lettuce salad. Thank you Miller!
