I think this site made an error with time and temperature for this recipe. You should deep fry potatoes at minimum 350 degrees. I actually went up to 380, cuz once you put the potatoes in the oil, the temp drops significantly. You need to keep the temp higher so the fries will cook properly. The recipe also states you should deep fry the potatoes first for 2-3 minutes. I believe this is an error. You need to fry them at least 7 minutes, a minute longer if you prefer. Then take them out, drain them and wait a few minutes. You don't need to wait to bring them back up to room temperature. Then fry them again for 2-3 minutes, they should turn a nice goldend brown, and you can keep them in the oven to stay warm, as noted.
The fish turned out perfect though, great batter. For an extra crunch factor, after removing the fish, wait a minute or so and drop them back in for another minute, very crunchy!! But try always to keep the heat up to 350 or you'll end up with very soggy fish & chips.

It's pretty good. I just tried it and my husband loved it. I thought the color was a bit dark so next time I'll try with a lighter beer. I might even try it with soda and see what happens...... The texture was great, nice and crispy and not soggy and oily. I could also use a little more salt....

I loved this fish and chips recipe! The only problem I had was that I had to thin the batter a little to keep the breading from being too thick.

Didn't have enough time to do the chips so I used frozen. The fish, however, is very good. Needs a little more salt and more than just a dash of Old Bay for the batter, however.

This is a great recipe for anyone, but especially those that aren't crazy about fish. The tilapia is really mild and balances well with the beer batter.

My husband just came home from a fishing trip with 50 lbs of pollock and cod, so I was anxious for fish recipes. Loving fish and chips, I thought I would try this. The batter for the fish was good traditional fish and chips batter. My husband thought the fish was great! But the chips-forget about it. They were awful. I followed the recipe exactly with my deep fat fryer but they came out so bad, we threw them away. They were greasy, limp and ridiculous. Plus my husband cut off the tip of his finger slicing them! I probably will not try this recipe again.

Maybe I just need to catch the show where he cooked this, but carefully following the recipe I was let down. To me the batter was too thick (even when I barely left any on the fish, and had too much beer taste (I know the alcohol was cooked off, but still too much taste of beer. I think I'll stick with my fish fried in cornmeal. Oh, and the chips were OK. But just OK. I'd rather have Ore-ida Steak Fries.
