There are a few key ingredients that make fish and chips so special. The key to a successful fish and chips recipe is to choose the right fish. A good rule of thumb is to select a fish that is native to the UK. Cod, haddock and halibut are all good choices. But you can make this dish with whatever white fish you have available.The second key ingredient is the beer batter. A good beer batter should be light and crispy, encasing the fish in a delicious golden coating. Finally, the chips must be cooked to perfection- crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.All of these ingredients come together to create a dish that is truly special. The traditional way to serve it is immediately while hot, with malt vinegar and fresh lemon juice. Enjoy!
