The batter taisted too much like flour for my taiste and the fries sogged up pretty quick. I had better luck with Paula Deens recipe... sorry but buddy.

Alton performs a community service when it comes to his research and knowledge, which is presented to the public. Thank you. This fish batter is absolutely the best!
Does Alton have a restaurant? A menu of his interpretations of classic recepies would be a hit all over.

I was using the Joy of cooking recipe which was nice, but this was just way better. I figured I would use an english beer and my local vons/safeway had newcastle brown ale. Nice big bottles so there is plenty of beer left to guzzle. I used this recipe with halibut and it was perfect!
Can't say enough good things about this one.

We have made this several times now and it is just better every time - the kids ask for it on a regular basis.
One tip we have found that works is to use one bottle of beer and 4-6 ounces of club soda to make the batter thinner (almost like water and we add ice cubes to keep it really cold - that way the batter does not take too long to cook and doesn't expand like tempura.

We live in the NW near Seattle where seafood is very abundant. The local restaurants all serve a LOT of local fish & chips. Years ago when I was married to my ex he would order it all the time & boy was it $$$. So late one night I was watching Good Eats & saw this episode & decided to try it! I have not tried the chips, but I have tried his double fry method with other things & found it to work really well.
The batter was thick but went together easy & stuck to the fish well. I personally don't eat fish... but my ex was over the moon & said it was the best he had ever had (he has eaten a LOT of it, but never in London. Anyways I have made it ever since! I use my deep fryer instead because it is fast & easy.
The true test will be this week because I am making it for my BF's dad who was born & raised in London!

My husband and I spent time in London and really missed the fish and chips. The fish recipe was fantastic, and in answer to an earlier review, do not do this without the beer. If you don't want to use beer, find another recipe. The beer really added a lot of fantastic flavor. The chips were OK, but I think I made them a bit thin, so next time, I'll make them thicker--more like chips in London--and cook them a bit longer. Overall, a fantastic recipe. Can't wait to make it again!

The batter on the fish was great although it was pretty greasy. The fries were fine, but nothing spectacular.

It was an easy recipe, flavourful, and one of the only ones that didn't have an egg in the batter. My son has food allergies and I can actually make this recipe for him. We loved it!

Everyone who gave this recipe 5 stars was right on the money!! No Old Bay but I used seasoned salt, chili flakes and some homeade Bam, Peanut Oil (only 2-3 cups was what I had, and it was fine. Also I used Sam Adams beer. My suggestion is to use your own timetable, don't be afraid to not follow the recipe perfectly, the fries definitly needed longer than 2-3 minutes and they came out excellent! I have no way to tell the temperature and yet it turned out way better than I expected! I think the cornstarch was key for making it delightful for me! Before this recipe I was a fry failure! Now I feel like I could fry anything!! haha
