Beer Battered Fish & Chips

What is it?

Beer batter gives these fish fillets a puffier coating than a standard crumb, with chips and tartare sauce on the side. Golden and airy once cooked, the batter wraps around white, flaky fish in a classic fish-and-chip-shop format, with the chips doing the usual freezer-meal work rather than trying to stand out. Compared with crumbed fish in the On The Menu range, this one leans more toward takeaway-style batter. Beer in the mix helps with lift and a faint yeasty note, and the tartare sauce is there to finish the plate. It's a Friday-night meal from the freezer, built for convenience rather than culinary ambition, but the batter does its job of keeping the fish moist inside.
