Treat your ingredients with care...
- Fish — Ensure the fish fillets are fresh and free from any fishy odor. Pat them dry before coating with the flour mixture to ensure a crispy texture.
- Chimichurri sauce — Prepare the chimichurri sauce in advance to allow the flavors to meld together. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- Salsa criolla — Finely chop the onions, tomatoes, and bell peppers for a chunky and colorful salsa criolla. Let it sit for a while to allow the flavors to develop.
Tips & Tricks
- For an extra crispy coating, you can double-dip the fish fillets in the flour mixture before frying.
- Serve the Fish and Chips with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for a burst of citrus flavor.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the flour mixture.
- To make the papas fritas even more flavorful, sprinkle them with a mixture of salt, paprika, and dried oregano before baking.
- Experiment with different types of fish, such as sea bass, trout, or even salmon, to add variety to your Argentinian-style Fish and Chips.
Serving advice
Serve the Argentinian-style Fish and Chips hot and crispy, alongside a generous dollop of chimichurri sauce and a side of tangy salsa criolla. Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro for a pop of color.
Presentation advice
