Step-by-Step Instructions

1
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. The batter should still be slightly lumpy.
2
Cut the cod fillets into desired sizes and season with salt and pepper. Dip each piece into the batter, making sure it's fully coated, then gently place into the hot oil. Fry for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
3
While the fish is cooking, heat a separate pot of oil to 350°F (180°C). Peel the potatoes and cut into long, thin strips. Fry the potatoes in batches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Drain on paper towels and season with salt.
4
To assemble the dish, place a few pieces of the fried fish on a plate, followed by a serving of chips. Drizzle with tartar sauce and garnish with parsley. Serve immediately and enjoy!
