How to make Battered Fish Fingers with Crispy Chips
Prepare the Chips
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Toss the potato strips in olive oil, salt, and any additional seasonings if desired.
Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
Make the Batter for Fish Fingers
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Gradually whisk in cold sparkling water until smooth.
Batter and Fry the Fish Fingers
Heat oil in a deep skillet or pot to 350°F (175°C).
Dip each fish strip into the batter, letting excess drip off.
Carefully place in hot oil and fry for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove and drain on paper towels.
Serve
Arrange the crispy chips and fish fingers on a serving plate.
Serve with tartar sauce, ketchup, or malt vinegar for dipping.
Tips & Tricks
Make sure the sparkling water is very cold for a light, airy batter.
Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or garlic powder to the batter for an extra kick.
