Fish and Chips

Serves 4

1 ½ lb. fillet of flounder which you have cut into uniform pieces

Coat with fritter batter (recipe follows):
Enough to coat about 2 cups fish

Put in a bowl and mix well:
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour or rice flour
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon melted butter or vegetable oil
2 beaten egg yolks
Add gradually, stirring constantly:
¾ cup flat beer
Allow the batter to rest covered and refrigerated 3 to 12 hours. Just before using, you may add: (2 stiffly beaten egg whites)

Cut into thick uniform strips slightly larger than for French fries: 2 lbs. mature baking potatoes

Soak in cold water for ½ hour. Drain and dry thoroughly. Fry in deep fat heated to 375 degrees until golden brown. Remove, drain and keep warm. Deep-fry the breaded fish until golden brown. Arrange potatoes and fish on a platter and serve with your favorite sauce.
