Fish N Chips

Good Fish n Chips is hard to come by in the states, unless there's a good British pub nearby. This recipe is pretty darn good. Made it for 6 people tonight and it turned out very satisfactory. I used a deep fryer but you can use a stock pot or another deep pot.
The original recipe shows you how to make your own 'authentic' type chips, but I used frozen crinkly fries.
Yum! Based on the recipe from Food.com

Serves 6
12 Tilapia filets
3/4 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup good beer (about 8oz, beer bottles usually come in 12, so drink the rest!)
Salt and pepper
1 bag of frozen crinkly fries

Heat up deep fryer and a pot of oil on the stove (or two fryers if you have em), for fish and fries while you ready the batter. Turn your oven on Warm. Stir together flour, baking soda and beer with a whisk. Make sure there aren't any flour lumps. Season with salt and pepper. 
Shake fish in some flour (this is important for the batter to stick to the fish). When oil is ready for frying, dip each piece of fish in the batter and then carefully drop in the oil.  I have a small fryer so I only do two pieces of fish at a time. Fry until golden brown, about 3 or 4 minutes, remove with basket or slotted spoon and place on a plate or baking sheet lined with paper towels.
Keep cooked fish in the oven to stay warm while the rest cook.
By the time your fish are done, your pot of fries should be ready as well.

Serve with lemon slices, salt and malt vinegar.
