It's only one serving to make the plating look nice for the picture, I made 1.5 pounds of cod and a little over 2 pounds of potatoes.

although the food is damn good....

Cut 4 large Idaho potatoes in half, then into 1/2" wedges. Put into bowl of ice water and chill for 30 minutes. Drain, pat dry, deep fry at 325 F for 4 minutes, until lightly browned.

Drain potatoes on paper towel, cool for 25 minutes and take heat off of your fryer oil. Pre-heat oven to 250 F. Turn heat up to 350 F and deep fry potatoes again for 5 minutes until fully golden brown. Season and keep warm on a baking sheet near the top of the oven.

Combine 1 1/2 cups AP flour with a 12 oz bottle of beer (as you can see I used Sam Adams Pale Ale), whisk the beer into the flour gently until combined and all clumps are gone. Season with salt.

Skin and fillet 1 1/2 pounds of cod (being a New England-er I use cod or haddock, but if they are clearly locally caught use a fish that is) and cut into 1" thick strips about 5-6" long. Pat dry and season lightly on both sides.

Heat your fryer oil up to 375 F. Dredge fish in a bowl of flour, then coat in your beer batter and slide directly into the oil (if you have a basket have it already submerged in the oil). Fry until fully golden-brown, about 4 minutes. Turn frequently to brown on all sides and avoid sticking. Drain on paper towel and season immediately, and keep warm in the bottom part of the oven.

Serve with malt vinegar and tartar sauce (I made my own tartar, a basic recipe) and enjoy!

and if you look at the timestamps of my poops vs finished it's about right, and if you read the directions it's about right. the key to making this dish work is patience. little details that make the difference, like the double frying of the fries, they won't be crispy if you only do it once (they might be right out of the fryer, but they won't be crunchy, and you have a lot of stuff to do before you're finished cooking)

also soaking the cut potatoes in water is also necessary to draw out a lot of the starch, otherwise you'll have a soft mushy fry. i also forgot to mention that i peeled the potatoes before i cut them

i didn't really carefully peel them though, just a rough shave to get most of the skin off, there were little spots of skin on a few pieces which was cool for a more "earthy" feel
