Fish and Chips are a kind of food that originally came from the United Kingdom. It is a popular kind of fast food in some parts of the world. As the name says, it is made of chips and a deep-fried fish fillet. Shops and restaurants that have fish and chips are easy to find in England and Wales. They are common in British cities, the first Fish and Chips were found in the East end of London in the late 19th Century. So they are not as traditional as we think.

A Brief History:

Fish and chips gained popularity when the meal helped feed the masses during the First World War. And since fish and potatoes were two of only a few foods not rationed in WWII,

The traditional dish maintained its status. Today, there are about 11,000 fish and chips shops throughout the UK and Ireland, so finding a chippie (a fish and chip shop) is usually easy. Fish and chip shops are now also around the world, including a few shops in New York City, and are especially popular in coastal regions of Spain

Everyone has their own preferences and tastes vary from one part of the country to another. Their cooking method is quite different from us so here I did some variations and tried to give it to Pakistani taste, which is even acceptable for all they don’t use many spices except black peppercorn while we people can’t enjoy unless food is not a bit spicy,

Note: Batter consistency should not be so thick nor so thin, keep batter back in the fridge

Drain out all potatoes from the water, Blanch potatoes for 10 minutes in the hot boiling water for 10 minutes, This helps the potato to cook slightly and fastens the process of frying fries

Drain the potatoes out of the water and pat them dry with a paper towel, excess water prevents crispiness

Use paper towels to blot away as much water from the outside of the potatoes as you can. Now sprinkle some salt and cornflour into the potatoes, and slide all french fries carefully in the hot oil. Let them fry over medium-hot oil flame for 2 minutes, and drain out from the oil

Allow to cool them completely to the fried potatoes

Note: At this stage, you can freeze it in the zip lock bag, and when you want to fry just take them out and deep fry it.

In the second fry, fry on high flame till potatoes turn brown and crispy, Once the French fries turn to a crispy golden color, drain them out from the oil

After some time they will float on top during the frying process turning occasionally for even a nice golden brown. You can see the nice golden brown color start appearing on top of the fish.
