Sabrina’s Fish and Chips Recipe
Authentic Fish and Chips is actually quite easy to make yourself. While many chain restaurants use a deep fryer, you can get the same crispy results by frying the ingredients in oil on your stovetop. My recipe features crispy beer-battered cod and thick-cut fries. Key steps include seasoning the fish, preparing the batter, and frying to golden perfection. The special touch lies in the flavorful beer batter and the double-frying method for extra crunchiness. Make this recipe for a Friday fish fry!
