• Put the chips into the oil to deep fry to cook, but not to colour
• Take the chips out and drain on paper
• Now heat the oil to 180°c
• Dip the fish in batter and then fry in oil
• Cook in the oil and turn over to colour
• Then take the fish out and leave to drain on paper (you can keep the fish warm in the oven whilst you re-cook the chips)
• Now turn oil up to 200°c and put chips back in to colour,

Tip…
• If you are making fish and chips for lots of people at home here are a few tips to help keep everything warm to serve at once.
• For the chips blanche the them in advance. Then cook the fish (small pieces is a good idea). Once the fish is cooked keep it warm (on draining paper) in a warm oven whilst you refry the blanched chips to colour them.
