Emeril's English Fish n' Chips




Source of Recipe


Emeril Lagasse


List of Ingredients




2 pounds Idaho potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch thick slices
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup ale or beer
1 large egg, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons milk
2 tablespoons Essence, plus 2 teaspoons, plus more for dusting
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 pounds cod or pollack fillets, cut into 4-ounce pieces
6 cups vegetable oil
Malt vinegar, accompaniment

Recipe



Fry the potatoes in the oil until golden brown, turning to cook evenly, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. Season with Essence, to taste, and transfer to a baking sheet. Place in the oven to keep warm until ready to serve. In a bowl, combine 1 cup of the flour, the ale, egg, milk, 1 tablespoon Essence, baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Whisk to make a smooth batter the consistency of cream, adding more ale, as needed, to thin. (Use the batter as soon as possible after making.) Place the remaining 3/4 cup flour and 2 teaspoons Essence in a shallow dish.

Season the fish with the remaining tablespoon of Essence. Dip the fillets first into flour to lightly coat, then into the batter, and back into the flour, shaking to remove any excess. Fry in the oil for until crisp and golden brown, turning, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. Season lightly with salt. Serve immediately with the fried potatoes and malt vinegar.
