HOLY CARP (I said carp, get it?)... I mean HADDOCK!
JayT is going to faint again but, I have never seen such perfection! WOWOWOWOWOW!
GIMME!
The right fish, check. The beer batter, check. Fries done right, low temp to cook through, then crisp. FISH LOOKS FLUFFY AND AMAZING! FRIES LOOK PERFECT (yes, skin on!)
I'll say it again... HOLY CARP!

Fish and chips. Not totally authentic. I didn't serve them on newspaper, and I did not peel the potatoes, but otherwise, pretty damn close.
Ingredients:
2.7lbs haddock fillets cut into six pieces.
Six russet potatoes cut into thick fries
Dredge (flour, paprika, salt, pepper)
Batter (one 16oz can Guiness or other beer such as Yeungling Black & Tan, flour, salt, baking powder, egg)
More beer to drink
Malt vinegar, homemade spicy tartar for serving.
I cut up the potatoes and soaked the chips in cold water. While they were soaking, I made the dredge and started the oil. I want it at 325F for the chips to blanch. After about five minutes, I used a slotted spoon and removed the chips and drained them on paper towels while I raised the temp of the oil to 375F. Fry the chips for about five more minutes until golden brown. While the fries are frying turn on the oven to bake at 200F and mix up the dredge and batter. Lower the temp of the oil to 350F. One piece at a time, coat the fish with the flour dredge and then the batter. Into the fryer and keep an eye on the temp. Put the fish in slowly so it floats. About five minutes later, take it out and rest it on a wire rack in the 200F oven with the fries while repeating with the other fish. When they are all fried and drained, serve on top of chips with malt vinegar and homemade tartar (mayo, sweet relish, small diced jalapeno/habanero/superhot whatever you like, lemon juice, worchestershire).
(expletive) yeah!!!
I am soooo balls deep on that fish n chips.
Took me a moment to catch up, and get over Booma's awesome display of burgerness. Then I hit JayT's post... Holy... What the? That's perfect fish 'n' chips! Put that in front of me and hand me a bottle of malt vinegar, please. Tartar on the side.
That really has made my mind up for what food im going to smash down this weekend.
FISH AND CHIPS, few bits of gummy shark and some chips. I do my homemade fries very similiar, but Parboil them first, them rough em up. Fry for a few minutes, drain and cool, then a final fry to really crisp up. 3 x cooked chips

Just since y'all are gettin' all seafoody all up in here in they 'thang, por favor? allow me to post some some drunken cheffery.
Got a load of jalapeno's from the local Try-N-Save.
Whereda' party at?
mrs. blues bought that mix a couple months ago. I don't normally drink that crap but thought I'd try it. Tasted like bunghole.
The solo cup and the umbrella is a shoutout to Jay and his girly-man foo foo drinks he so enjoys. Salute'!
Here's some of the goin's on y'all...
This is my riff on Green Sriracha.
About 2# fresh jalapeno's, stemmed and whack n' hacked
2 C white vinegar
2 C H2O
1 1/2 heads of garlic
1/2 C white sugar
3 T kosher salt
I boat motored and zipped this and reduced down till I reckoned it was the right consistency.
Nailed it.
Them squirty bottles come in handy.
Don't reckon I recall how many spoonfuls of the green sheeit I pieholed but it was for true damn guud!
But wait!
There's more.
Somehow shrimps fell from heaven right onto The Blues Kitchen countertop.
I cooked 'em up with yellow onionz and garlic and put the spiceenesxct to 'em!
I like to be liking shrimp tacos with Alaskan Amber. That'd be a mans beer.
Slapped that on a whole wheat tore tillah' with a little tomato and splooged on the green man-gravy.
mmmmm...gravy.
Well y'all last night was a great night of drinkin' n' smokin'n fightin' n' fornificatin' even if it was only missylou and me.
And today I feel great!
This morning I pooped awesome and pee'd excellence.

Fish and chips tonight, no potatoes, sort of, so made some sweet potato chips. Boiled first, then fried twice. Some flake, beer battered and fried. All washed down with some beers
Delicious!!
Some flake, batter, beer. Essentials
Hand cut sweet potato
Frying away, definitely use a bigger pot next time
Plated up. Little bit different looking than normal Potato chips. Tasty though

When you said you were doing fish-n-chips, I just knew it was going to be awesome - regardless of how much beer was involved!
