Description
Crispy Battered Fish and Chips (Non-Alcoholic) is a crispy, golden version of the classic British comfort food. The fish fillets are coated in a light, crispy batter, served with thick-cut fries. This non-alcoholic version achieves a deliciously crispy texture while being suitable for everyone.
Ingredients
4 white fish fillets (such as cod, haddock, or pollock), skinless and boneless
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 cup all-purpose flour (for dredging)
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup cold sparkling water (or soda water)
1 egg
Vegetable oil (for frying)
4 large russet potatoes, peeled and cut into thick fries
Salt, to taste
Vegetable oil (for frying)
Optional for Serving: Tartar sauce (ensure it’s non-alcoholic), Vinegar, Lemon wedges
Instructions
- For the Chips: Peel the potatoes and cut them into thick fries. Rinse in cold water to remove excess starch. Heat oil in a large pot or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C). Fry the potatoes in batches for 4-5 minutes, then drain on paper towels. Let them cool for 5 minutes.
- For the Fish: Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. In a bowl, combine flour, paprika, garlic powder, and baking powder. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and sparkling water. Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth.
- Heat oil to 375°F (190°C) in a deep pan. Dredge the fish fillets in the batter and fry for 4-5 minutes until golden and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- Finish the Chips: Increase the oil temperature to 375°F (190°C) and fry the par-cooked potatoes again for 4-5 minutes until golden brown. Remove and season with salt.
- Serve the Fish and Chips: Serve the crispy fish alongside the fries, garnished with lemon wedges, vinegar, and tartar sauce (ensure it’s non-alcoholic).
Notes
Spicy Battered Fish: Add cayenne pepper or chili powder to the batter for heat.
Sweet Potato Fries: Substitute sweet potatoes for a different twist.
Seasoned Fries: Add garlic powder, paprika, or rosemary for extra flavor.
