What is fish and chips, and how is it made?

Fish and chips, one of England's most famous dishes, gained fame after one of the country's former prime ministers introduced it as "good companions."

It is also rumored that the first fish and chips shop was opened in London and that it was the city's working class that introduced this dish into the culinary culture of the general public.

HOW TO MAKE FISH AND CHIPS

• Mix the chilled flour, cornstarch, eggs, mineral water, milk, salt, and black pepper in a bowl until smooth.
• Cut the haddock fillets, from which you have removed the skin and bones, into finger-sized strips or leave them as slices.
• Peel the potatoes, cut them into finger shapes, rinse them in plenty of water, and dry them with a paper towel.
• Heat the sunflower oil in two separate pans.
• After coating the haddock fillets in the prepared batter, fry them in the hot oil, turning them over to cook both sides.
• Add the finger-cut potatoes to the hot oil and fry them, stirring occasionally, until they turn golden yellow.
• Place the fried fish and potatoes on a paper towel and let them rest for 2-3 minutes to drain the excess oil.
