As Salamu Alikum and hi everyone. It's Friday and I have decided that on Friday's I will post a recipe that either I or my mother made and also if I am lucky, something that I ate out at a restaurant. So, here is my first food post!!
Warning!! This picture I took was in my dining/living room and the lights that are in there are the orange ones, so the lighting isn't that good as it would have been if our lights were the white bulbs. Also my food presentation isn't the best so I apologize for that.

So, the recipe I got it from a book called "Mums Know Best": The Hairy Bikers Family Cookbook and it is a British book, so the recipe is actually called 'Beer Battered Fish and Chips'. Now I'm not sure if it is okay to give you all the recipe. The authors probably don't allow that. You'd have to get the book if you want the recipe, but I will tell you that since I am Muslim and I don't drink alcohol, I used a non alcoholic malt drink. I guess you can say that it is a normal kind of batter recipe, being that the only liquids are the malt drink and vinegar. I cut up the fish, I think it was 2 bags, more than 1kg I think, and one potato for each person, so 7 potatoes. I fired the potatoes first then the fish. The fries were a little undercooked limp as they had sat for a little while, but in the recipe that's how it's supposed to be. After you cook the fish you recook the fries right before you serve so that they are crispy when you eat them.
Overall, I think I would make it again. Just be careful with the salt.
The fries were salted and vinegar was sprinkled over it and it was all pretty good mashallah.
