Beer Battered Fish & Chips with Homemade Tartar Sauce

Preparation for Tartar Sauce

• Create homemade tartar sauce - Blend gherkin, capers and shallots into a paste with a handblender.
• Whisk the egg yolk with a food processor by selecting ‘Medium speed’, then drizzle oil to the yolk mixture thereafter.
• Continue to blend salt, sugar, pepper, white wine vinegar, lemon juice, and the paste in Step 2 - together in the food processor.
• Continue to blend the mixture till a mayonnaise-like texture is formed.

Preparation for Beer Battered Fish and Chips

• Marinate the fish fillet with pepper, salt and beer; then set the marinated fish aside. We are using Sea bass in this video. Set fillets aside thereafter.
• Whisk the egg yolk with a food processor and create the batter by mixing all the ingredients, except for the beer, together.
• Next, pour the beer in to form a slurry consistency. Keep the batter chilled for best results.
• Heat a pot of oil, then dip the tempered fish fillets into the batter. Next, fry the fries. Here, we use sweet potato fries.
• Fry the fish and fries till they turn crispy and golden brown. Garnish fillets with cracked black pepper, salt, tartar sauce, chopped parsley and lemon slices.
• To check if the fish is cooked, poke the tip of the knife at the thickest part of the fillet, it should gently resist flaking but show signs of firming.
