This is probably the greatest fast food meal ever created ! It is a godlike recipe that was adapted many different ways for people in New England, Cajun version, Greek version, South African version but the original one is still the best one because of its proximity with comfort food and traditional britain cooking methods

Had this last night and the batter was great. Couldn't find any cod or snapper so used sashimi grade yellowfin. That was okay but cod would be better.When all the fish was done I had some batter left and whacked up an onion and battered that; fantastic.A few drops of malt vinegar and we were good. Thanks. RJ

Great recipe. The batter should be really excellent and Tilapia works but for true Brit fish & chips you need Cod. Thanks for the post. RJ

Another one of yours I've tried, already, William! :) The flavor of this was spot on...a very mild batter which lent itself perfectly to the acid one MUST have on the fish of fish and chips! :) Whether it's malt vinegar or lemon. I've never added eggs to a batter like this, so that was different, and it worked out great. I was a little unsure if you meant to really whisk up the egg whites or not, so I sorta beat the devil outta them but stopped short of actually peaking them. Then, I added them to the batter. Fish fried up nice and golden and tasty. Tilapia was a nice change from cod, too. I do need to say, though, that I don't know if it's a translation thing or if I somehow am missing something, but 1/2 cup of beer just isn't enough liquid. My boyfriend was wondering if you perhaps meant 1/2 pint? I ended up using a bottle of beer(Honeymoon from Blue Moon 12oz), minus a taste or two, so it ended up probably being about 1 cup, or 8oz of beer...which would be half a pint. :) Anyway, I'm not gonna lower my rating on this recipe, cus I do believe it's just an error in the measurement, and everything else was perfect. :) I served with steak fries for chips, tartar sauce, malt vinegar and lemon...and with fresh cucumber slices just to combat some of the fried! :)
