Ingredients

4 cod or haddock fillets, cut in half on an angle

2 cups all-purpose flour

1T baking powder

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

1 large egg, lightly beaten

1 (12 oz) can seltzer

1/2 cup rice flour

vegetable oil

4 large potatoes

malt vinegar

tartar sauce

Directions

Heat 3 inches of oil in a deep fryer to 325. Or heat 3 inches of oil in a deep pot.

Peel the potatoes and cut into chips, about the size of your index finger.

Put the potatoes in oil and fry 2 to 3 minutes, remove from oil & drain on paper towels (don't worry, they're not supposed to be done).

Increase the oil temp to 375

In a large bowl, combine flour, bakign powder, salt, pepper, and egg. Lightly whisk, then add seltzer and whisk until smooth

Spread the rice flour on a plate.

Dredge the fish pieces in rice flour , then dip in the batter. Let the excess drip off.

Put the chips in the bottom of the fryer basket and put into the hot oil.

CAREFULLY wave the fish into the bubbling oil before putting in on top of the chips.

Fry the fish and chips about 5 minutes, until crispy and golden brown.

Remove from the basket and drain on paper towels.

Season lightly with salt.

Serve with malt vinegar and/or tartar sauce (preferably in a newspaper cone!)

Nothing smells as wonderful as fish/chips and tons of malt vinegar all wrapped in newspaper. Such wonderful childhood memories. Wonder...do they still wrap in paper, most likely no, pity.
