Mr. E. made a meal this evening in honor of my friend on the other side of the pond! I was a bit doubtful about how this would actually turn out because how, honestly, how realistic is it to imagine he could make fish and chips that taste just like they would at a stand in England? He proved me wrong and this dinner was amazing!
Ingredients
* 3/4 cup mayonnaise
* 3 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon
* 1 tablespoon malt vinegar or cider vinegar
* 1 cup self-rising flour
* 1 1/2 teaspoons Old Bay seasoning
* 1 1/4 cups lager beer
* Vegetable oil (for frying)
* 1 1/2 pounds halibut fillets, cut crosswise into 1/2- to 3/4-inch-thick slices
* 3 (8- to 10-ounce) red-skinned potatoes or russet potatoes, unpeeled, cut into 1/8- to 1/4-inch-thick rounds
Preparation
Whisk mayonnaise, tarragon, and vinegar in small bowl to blend. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Whisk flour and Old Bay seasoning in medium bowl to blend. Add beer and whisk just until blended. Pour enough oil into heavy large skillet to reach depth of 1 inch; heat oil to 350°F. Sprinkle fish with salt and pepper. Working in batches, dip fish into beer batter to coat lightly, allowing excess batter to drip back into bowl. Add fish to hot oil and fry until deep golden and just cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer fish to paper towels to drain. Working in batches, add potato slices to oil and cook until golden and tender, turning occasionally, about 4 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain. Sprinkle generously with salt.
Divide fish and chips among 4 plates. Spoon tarragon-malt vinegar mayonnaise alongside and serve.

Wow, cracking fish, Govnah!
What a fun treat!
Oh my goodness, the food you make looks delicious!
I kind of make my own wipe spray. There is a "recipe" on the side of the California Baby Diaper Area Spray that says to mix it with I think 1 part diaper spray to 6 parts distilled water. (At least I think it does, it's in the nursery with my sleeping daughter.) I've heard some people just use plain water and add nothing to it.
Cloth diapering had been great for us. Until recently, we had no problems at all. I've had a little bit of a rash issue lately, so I'm trying to figure out what is causing it. We've stopped using the wipe spray and cloth wipes, but that doesn't seem to be the cause.
I'm glad you've liked my recent posts! Let me know if you have any other questions about cloth.
