Ingredients

  • 400g skinless, boneless haddock or cod fillets

The Batter

  • 110g plain flour
  • 20g cornflour
  • 250ml very cold beer or sparkling water
  • ½ teaspoon chilli powder
  • ½ teaspoon turmeric
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon crushed Sichuan peppercorns
  • 2 large potatoes, preferably Maris Piper or similar floury potato, washed well with skin kept on
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt
  • Vegetable Oil for frying

Sichuan Pepper Seasoning

  • 2 teaspoons crushed Sichuan peppercorns
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon cracked black pepper

Method

• To make the batter, place the flours, spices, salt, pepper together, then pour in the beer, mix well with whisk until smooth batter is formed.

• Keep some extra plain flour aside in a bowl for tossing the fish into later.

• Cut the potatoes lengthwise into roughly 1 cm thick slices. Soak the slices in cold water to remove the excess starch. Pat them dry using a kitchen towel or a tea towel and set aside for deep-frying.

• Pat the fish fillets dry and toss them first into the flour, then dip each finger into the batter.
