Treat your ingredients with care...
- Fish — Ensure the fish fillets are fresh and free from any unpleasant odors. Pat them dry before dipping them into the batter for better adherence.
- Potatoes — Soak the potato wedges in cold water for 10 minutes before baking to remove excess starch and achieve crispier results.
Tips & Tricks
- For extra crispy fish, refrigerate the battered fish fillets for 15 minutes before frying.
- Serve the fish and chips with a side of tartar sauce or lemon wedges for added flavor.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, increase the amount of cayenne pepper in the batter.
- Experiment with different types of white fish, such as cod or haddock, for variation in flavor and texture.
- If you don't have sparkling water, you can use beer as a substitute for a richer flavor.
Serving advice
Serve the Bosnian-style fish and chips hot, straight from the fryer, for the best taste and texture. Accompany it with a fresh salad or pickles to balance the richness of the dish.
Presentation advice
Arrange the crispy fish fillets and golden potato wedges on a platter, garnished with fresh parsley or dill for a pop of color. Serve it with a side of tartar sauce or lemon wedges for a complete and visually appealing presentation.
