Tempura Fish

1. Pat dry the fish pieces and season.

batter is okay. The batter should be thin, dripping consistency. Heat oil to 375°in a heavy

bottomed pot.

3. Dredge the fish in dry flour and shake of the excess. Dip it into the batter and carefully

lower it in hot oil and fry fillets in batches until golden brown. Remove from the oil and

set aside.

Chips

1. Lower oil heat to 320°.

2. Cut potatoes into wedges. Place into cold water until ready to fry.

3. Drain water and dry wedges thoroughly.

4. Working in batches, fry wedges for 10 minutes. Drain on a wire rack over a sheet pan,

and repeat with the remaining wedges.5. Turn the fryer up to 375° and fry potato wedges again for 2-3 minutes or until crispy and

golden brown. Remove from oil and place on a wire rack.

6. In a small saucepan add the butter and olive oil and melt over medium heat.

7. Reduce the heat to low and add the garlic and cook for 3 minutes. Turn off the heat and

add in chopped parsley.

8. Pour the garlic butter mixture over the wedges. Add the Parmesan and toss until wedges

are fully coated.

9. Garnish fish and chips with fresh lemon juice and chopped parsley, add a side of tartar

sauce and enjoy!
