Ingredients:

1 Prepare Batter:
Place flour in a large bowl. Add salt and pepper. Make a well in the centre of the bowl, and gently pour beer in the middle, whisking as you go. Continue this process until all the beer is poured in, and a smooth and consistent batter is formed. Place batter aside in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
2 Preheat Oil:
Preheat oil in a large, heavy-based saucepan or deep fryer to 180°C (350°F).
3 Fry Potato Strips:
Fry potato strips in small batches in the oil until tender. Remove and drain on paper towels.
4 Batter and Fry Fish:
Take each piece of fish individually, and batter with flour. Place in the same hot oil used for the fish, and fry until golden. Drain on paper towels.
5 Refry Potato Chips:
Place the potato chips back in the oil, and fry again for an additional minute or two, until golden and crispy.
6 Serve:
Serve with wedges of lemon, and tartare and tomato sauce. This fish and chips recipe is best enjoyed immediately.
