Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan180°C/gas 6. Place the potatoes in pan of cold salted water, bring to the boil, then simmer for 2 minutes. Drain, return to the hot pan, then shake a little to fluff up the edges.
  2. Heat the oil in a roasting tin until very hot, then add the chips, toss well and roast in the oven for 30-40 minutes, turning occasionally.
  3. Meanwhile, sift the flour into a bowl and season with plenty of salt and pepper. Make a well in the centre, then gradually mix in the ale until it forms a batter with a thick coating consistency.
  4. Heat 10cm of vegetable oil to 180°C (or until a cube of bread browns in 60 seconds). Dip the fish in the batter, fry in batches for 3-4 minutes until golden brown, then drain on kitchen paper. Serve with the chunky chips, sprinkled with sea salt, along with lemon wedges and mayonnaise.
