Ingredients

For Fish

• 1 lb. white fish (such as cod or flounder) cut into pieces
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 3/4 cup COLD tonic water

For Potatoes

• 2 big russet or golden potatoes, cut into fries
• salt
• vegetable oil, enough to fry

Instructions

1. Soak the potatoes in COLD water for 30-40 minutes. Drain and pat dry completely.
2. While the potatoes are soaking, cut the fish into the desired size. Then, in a shallow bowl mix flour, baking powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
3. Preheat oil to 300 degrees F. Cook all the fries in one batch for 6-8 minutes.
4. Remove the fries from the oil and place on a paper towel lined baking sheet.
5. Bring the oil to 375 degrees F.
6. Coat all the fish with flour and place on a plate. Add the COLD tonic water to the flour while whisking constantly until you have a smooth batter.
7. Dip the fish into the batter, coating the entire piece. Carefully lower each piece into the oil. Fry in batches for 4-8 minutes (depending on the size of your fish pieces) or until the fish is golden and crisp.
8. Remove the fish from the oil and drain them on paper towels.
9. In batches, cook the french fries for about 5 minutes or until golden and crisp. Remove from oil and drain on paper towel. Season with salt.
10. Serve immediately with ketchup and tartar sauce
