Beer-Battered Fish With French Fries and Tartar Sauce
Description
The fish is coated first in seasoned flour, then dipped into a beer batter made by mixing lager beer gradually with flour to a smooth consistency. The beer in the batter creates a light, airy crust when deep-fried. The fries are prepared by slicing washed potatoes into thin strips and frying in hot neutral oil until crisp. The tartar sauce balances the fried elements with tangy, fresh flavors from pickled cucumber, onion, and dill mixed into mayonnaise and yogurt.
The combination of crispy batter, flaky fish, and crunchy fries makes for a satisfying meal. Serving the fish immediately after frying ensures the crust remains crisp while the inside stays tender and moist.
