Cut the potatoes into thick chips, rinse and pat dry.

Heat frying oil to 140°C. Fry the chips for 6–8 minutes until tender but pale, then drain.

Mix the flour, baking powder and a pinch of salt. Whisk in the cold ale until just smooth.
-
Heat the oil to 180°C. Dust the fish lightly with flour, dip in batter and fry for 6–8 minutes until crisp, golden and cooked through.

Fry the chips again at 180°C for 3–5 minutes until golden. Drain, season and serve with the fish, lemon and malt vinegar.
Note
For the crispest batter, keep the liquid very cold and mix the batter immediately before frying.
