Instructions

1
Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper. In a large bowl, toss potato wedges with 1 tablespoon olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, 0.5 tsp salt, and 0.25 tsp black pepper until evenly coated.
2
Spread potato wedges in a single layer on one prepared baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown and tender-crisp. While potatoes cook, pat fish fillets dry with paper towels.
3
Prepare the fish coating: In a shallow dish, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, 1 tsp salt, and 0.5 tsp black pepper. Gradually whisk in cold sparkling water until a smooth, thick batter forms. Do not overmix.
4
Dip each fish fillet into the batter, ensuring it's fully coated, letting any excess drip off. Carefully place the battered fish on the second prepared baking sheet. Drizzle remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil lightly over the fish.
5
Once potatoes have cooked for 25-30 minutes, place the baking sheet with the fish in the oven alongside the potatoes. Bake fish for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and flaky, and the internal temperature reaches 63°C (145°F).
6
Remove both baking sheets from the oven. Season fish and chips with a little extra salt if desired. Serve immediately with lemon wedges and tartar sauce.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use different types of fish?

Yes, any firm, white fish like pollock, haddock, or halibut would work well for this recipe. Adjust baking time slightly if your fillets are thicker or thinner.

How can I ensure the chips are extra crispy?

To get extra crispy chips, ensure they are spread in a single layer on the baking sheet without overcrowding. You can also par-boil them for 5 minutes before tossing with oil and spices, then baking.

What can I serve with this besides tartar sauce?

Malt vinegar is a traditional accompaniment for fish and chips. You could also serve it with a side of mushy peas, coleslaw, or a simple green salad.
