1

Prepare the Fish

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In the meantime, rinse the fish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Season both sides of the fillets with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice for a burst of brightness.

2

Coat the Fish in Batter

In a mixing bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and your choice of spices (such as paprika or garlic powder) for additional flavor. Gradually whisk in cold water until you achieve a smooth batter. Dip each seasoned fish fillet into the batter, coating it thoroughly.

3

Bake the Fish

Place the coated fish fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until the fish is beautifully golden brown and crispy. Flip the fish halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.

4

Prepare the Chips

While the fish is baking, it's time to tackle the chips! Peel and cut potatoes into thick fries or wedges. Place the potato pieces in a large bowl of cold water for about 15 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a kitchen towel. Toss the potato pieces with olive oil, salt, and your favorite seasoning. Spread them out in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

5

Bake the Chips

Pop the baking sheet with the potato pieces into the oven alongside the fish. Bake for about 25-30 minutes or until the chips are crisp and golden brown. Remember to give them a gentle toss halfway through baking to ensure even cooking.

6

Whip up the Tartar Sauce

While everything is baking to perfection, it's time to whip up the star of the show - the Tartar Sauce! In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, chopped pickles, capers, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, chopped fresh dill, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix it all together until well combined. Feel free to adjust the ingredients to suit your taste.

7

Serve and Enjoy

Once the fish and chips are beautifully cooked, remove them from the oven. Serve them hot on a plate, alongside a generous dollop of your homemade Tartar Sauce. Garnish with fresh lemon wedges and a sprinkle of chopped parsley for that extra touch of pizzazz. Grab your fork and dig in!
