Fish and chips

Preheat the oven to 100°C, CircoTherm®. Place baking paper on two oven trays. Peel the potatoes, cut them into sticks and let them rest in a bowl with cold water. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a pot or deep fryer, to 150°C. Drain the potatoes and dry them gently on a kitchen towel. Deep fry the potato sticks in portions for 3-4 minutes until they are just turning soft. Place the potato sticks on one baking tray. Heat the oil to 175°C and deep fry the potato portions again for about 2 minutes until they turn golden brown. Place the chips on the second tray and season with curry, paprika and salt. Place in the oven to keep warm. Cover the fish fillets with salt and pepper on both sides. This extracts water from the fish and allows for a more meaty texture. Cut fish fillets in finger-food style pieces. Cutting seafood into uniform size pieces will allow for even cooking. Now to make the beer batter. Sift flour, baking powder and sugar in a bowl. Add water, beer, vinegar and a few drops of Worcestershire sauce. Stir only briefly. The batter should have the consistency of medium whipped cream. If the dough is too dense, add a few drops of beer. Heat the oil to 190°C. Cover the fish pieces with a thin layer of batter and deep fry for 4-5 minutes on both sides until golden brown.
