Fish and Chips

When making the weekly grocery list and asking Nick what he wanted, he suggested Fish and Chips. We got to talking about Tar Tar sauce and I was disgusted to find out that it was just mayo and relish - that would not do. So I set out to make a killer Tar Tar Sauce from scratch that wasn't 2 pre-made condiments mixed together. And according to Nick after trying it - he won't go back!

Fish Batter

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
3 Tbsp cornstarch
1/4 tsp salt
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/2 beer, or as needed 

Mix ingredients together to make a thick paste looking batter and dip fish in (I used cod filets). Fry fish in 350 degree F oil for about 3 minutes a side, until golden brown.

Tar Tar Sauce

1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
1 green onion, finely chopped
1 tsp lemon juice
1 large dill pickle, finely diced
1 Tbsp fresh dill, roughly chopped
1 pinch of salt and black pepper

Mix ingredients until combined. Generously top on your fried fish.
