Fried Fish & Tartar sauce(Fish & Chips)

….Fish and chips is a popular hot dish consisting of fried fish in crispy batter, served with chips. The dish originated in England. Freshly cooked and piping hot fish and chips. I didn’t make fried potato chips. If there is some leftover fried fish, I make fish sandwiches with the leftovers. Tartar sauce is usually served with this dish but it’s good to serve with sherry vinegar as well. I will use the tartar sauce and add a minced boiled egg as a spread for a sandwich. My friend introduced a special tempura flour to me for crispy batter. It was great and crispy on the outside. There was a crunching sound. Fresh fish was very sweet and soft on the inside….yummy!!
