Ingredients

Vegetable oil, for deep frying
3 large russet potatoes
2 cups rice flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
3 teaspoons salt, plus more for seasoning
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more for seasoning
1 (12-ounce) can soda water
1 large egg, lightly beaten
2 (8-ounce) cod or haddock fillets, cut in 1/2 on an angle
1/2 cup rice flour, for dredging
Malt vinegar, for serving

Directions

Heat 3 inches of the oil in a deep fryer to 325 degrees F. Alternatively, use a deep heavy skillet.

Peel the potatoes and cut them into chips (that is, fries) about the size of your index finger. Put the potatoes in a fryer basket and lower into the oil. Fry the chips for 2 to 3 minutes; they should not be crisp or fully cooked at this point. Remove the chips to a paper towel-lined platter to drain.

Crank the oil temperature up to 375 degrees F. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt and pepper. Combine soda water and egg and pour into the flour mixture. Whisk to a smooth batter. Spread the rice flour on a plate. Dredge the fish pieces in the rice flour and then dip them into the batter, letting the excess drip off.

Put the chips in the bottom of the fryer basket and carefully submerge in the hot oil. Carefully lower the battered fish into the bubbling oil on top of the chips. Fry the fish and chips for 4 to 5 minutes until crispy and brown. Remove the basket and drain the fish and chips on paper towels; season lightly with salt. Serve wrapped in a newspaper cone with malt vinegar and/or tartar sauce.

Excellent especially for Celiacs
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This recipe was fantastic. I have lots of rice flour as my husband has Celiac. It came out perfectly cooked and tasted... great. My kids couldn't get enough. I had seen a comment on another recipe saying to make sure the soda water was chilled or your batter would be soggy. I chilled the water and everything stayed nice and crispy. I also pan fried it in about 1/2 inch of oil as we do not have a deep fat fryer. Other than that I followed the recipe directly. I will definitely be making this again despite the mess it made of my kitchen.Read more

SPOT ON!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I saw this episode when it originally aired. After the episode I went and got all the ingredients. Followed the instructions... as printed and WOW........Amazing! I have made this several times without changing a thing and every time it is awesome. For those of you who are having trouble with the batter. WISK IN 12 oz. of Club Soda. Measure all the dry goods as stated in the recipe and your batter should be perfect. USE A DEEP FRYER for BEST Results.....not cast Iron frying pans. Made this last night for my football party and EVERYBODY wanted the recipe. Tyler, Thank you! Read more

I Need Help
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Tyler, The first time I made this receipe, it was GREAT. The second and third time that I made it, it was a disaster. I... can't figure out what went wrong. I followed the receipe exactly like the first time. The problem was when I added the soda to the flour, it bubbled up and got SO thick that it could not stick to the fish. I had to throw it out on the 2nd and 3rd try. I loved this receipe and am determined to correct it. Please tell me what I am doing wrong. Read more

I watched the episode a little while ago where he made this, and thought I might actually be able to pull it off. Tonight I... made this for family dinner and boy was it awesome! The fish was moist and flaked apart beautifully, the coating was crunchy, and overall had a light feeling. I will say that I only needed half the batter at most for 1 lb of cod. Fries turned out well, too. Ina Garten has a great tartar sauce that I used, also. Thanks Tyler!Read more

Great Batter!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This recipe was easy to follow and turned out wonderfully. I did however substitute a 12 oz bottle of beer for the soda... water. The chips tasted just like you'd get at a restaurant!Read more
