Method

1 Place the flour and salt in a bowl. Mix the other ingredients in another bowl and leave to stand for 10 minutes. Make a well in the flour, pour in the liquid and whisk well to avoid lumps. Leave to stand for 15-20 minutes before using.

2 Next, dip the fish in the batter and coat all over. Fry in hot oil at 180°C (use the same pan as for the chips) for 7-9 minutes before draining, drying and serving with the chips.
