This week, we really missed England. We're huge fans of the country, its culture, and especially its food. To console ourselves while waiting for our next trip, we decided to make fish and chips. This dish is one of the quintessential English dishes, very popular with the British. It consists of chips and fried fish coated in a beer-based batter. Tartar sauce accompanies it, and sometimes mushy peas. Fish and chips can be served as fast food or as a gourmet meal, depending on where you eat it. But one thing is for sure: it's a 100% British dish!

For this recipe, we decided to go with the classic version of Fish and Chips. Our goal was to use good quality ingredients, far removed from those served in fast-food restaurants, for a more homemade version. For our beer batter, we use Guinness beer. We wanted to stay true to the theme with this Irish beer. For those who don't drink alcohol, there's a solution, of course! Depending on your preferences, you can replace the beer with sparkling water or milk. That way, everyone at home can enjoy this delicious Fish and Chips!

For 2 people
Preparation time: 40 minutes

INGREDIENTS

– 2 fish fillets (cod, haddock, pollock, …)
– 215 mL Guinness © (or 215 mL of milk or sparkling water)
– 170 g flour
– 2 teaspoons baking powder
– Sunflower oil
- Salt
- Pepper

RECIPE

1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees.

2. Mix the beer, flour, and baking powder together until the batter is smooth. The texture should be fairly thick and creamy. Set aside.

3. Place the flour in a small bowl and add the salt and pepper. Coat the fish in the flour mixture, then dip it generously in the beer batter. Carefully place the fish in a pan with a little hot oil and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side.

4. Next, place your fish on a baking sheet and bake for 2 to 3 minutes for the finishing touch.

5. Serve the fish with homemade fries, a drizzle of malt vinegar, tartar sauce, and, if desired, mushy peas. Enjoy!
