Fish and chips
Beer-battered cod with twice-fried potato chips and malt vinegar.
About Fish and chips
Kimberly Killebrew's British pub-style fish and chips follows the battered fish and fried potato combination she describes from English chippies. Cod provides the white fish in this rendition.
Cold light beer joins flour, baking powder and salt in the batter. Beef tallow is the author's traditional frying option, while malt vinegar adds a sharp table seasoning to the finished fish and chips.
Thick potato chips are fried twice, and the fish arrives hot inside its crisp coating. Mushy peas are offered as an optional traditional accompaniment alongside the fish and potatoes.
