Instructions
- Step 1
Peel the potatoes and cut them into thick fries. Boil for 3–4 minutes, then drain well. Pat dry, toss gently with cornstarch, and set aside. Fry once at 160 °C for about 5 minutes, they should stay pale, not golden. Place on a cooling rack or paper towels to drain and keep them crispy.
- Step 2
Cut the fish into strips. In a bowl, mix flour with all the spices (salt, pepper, paprika, garlic, curry, cumin, and a pinch of MSG if using). Lightly coat each fish piece in this flour mixture. Once all fish pieces are dusted, pour in cold Sprite (or sparkling water) and whisk until a smooth batter forms.
- Step 3
Heat oil to 180 °C.
- Step 4
Dip the floured fish strips into the batter, then carefully fry them for a few minutes until golden and crispy. Transfer to a cooling rack to stay crunchy.
- Step 5
After frying the fish, fry the chips a second time at 180 °C until golden brown and crispy. Season immediately with salt.
- Step 6
Mix mayonnaise, chopped pickle, capers, lemon juice, parsley, mustard, salt, and pepper. Chill until serving.
