Notes
It is very important to season the fish before dipping it into the fish and chips batter for the BEST flavor.
Make sure the fish is dry before dipping it in the batter. If it seems a bit damp use a paper towel to give it a little pat.
Allow the fish to drain on a cookie rack after cooking before transferring them to a serving plate or serving.
Serve immediately for the best flavor.
Cook in batches and don't overcrowd the fillets in the hot oil.
