I do enjoy the classic fish and chips sometimes. It reminds me of my college days in the U.K.

This turned out well!

Ingredients:

1kg cod

250g self raising flour

Salt to taste

Cold soda water

Oil for frying

Lemon for garnish

Method:

Clean and dry the fish. If the fillets are too large, you can cut them to desired size. Pat dry with a paper towel.

In a mixing bowl, mix the flour, salt and soda water. Don’t make the batter too runny. Put the soda water a little at a time. It should be thick in consistency.

Dip the fish in the batter, coat it thoroughly and gently put it in the hot oil to deep fry.

Fry for about 6-7 minutes, turning the fish occasionally but gently.

Drain on paper towel.

Serve with chips doused in vinegar and salt, with a bit of tartare sauce and/ or ketchup.

Yummy!
