HALIBUT FISH AND CHIPS

Steps:

• CHIPS
• Peel and cut the potatoes into 1/4 by 1/4-inch thick fries. Place in a large bowl of cold water.
• Heat 2 inches of oil in a large, straight-sided pan or deep fryer to 325ºF. Drain the fries in batches on paper towels.
• Fry each batch for 3 to 4 minutes until pale blonde and remove to a baking sheet lined with paper towels.
• Just before serving, increase the heat of the oil to 375ºF and fry the potatoes again, in batches, until golden brown. Remove to a sheet pan lined with paper towels and season with kosher salt.
• FRIED HALIBUT
• Preheat the oven to 200°F.
• Heat at least 2 inches of oil to 360ºF in a large skillet.

• Fry the fish batches until golden brown on both sides. Remove with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate. Transfer to a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven.
• Serve with chips and homemade tartar sauce.

HALIBUT CHEEK FRITTERS WITH SALAD AND CHIPS

Steps:

• Beer Batter:
• Combine flour and chives with salt in a large bowl. Make a hole in the middle. Put egg yolks in the hole and beat into the flour with a whisk. Add milk and mix. Slowly pour in the beer, mixing constantly. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.
• Halibut and Chips:
• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large, heavy Dutch oven to 300 degrees F. Peel potatoes, taro and lotus roots, sweet potato, yam, and plantains, then slice thinly using a madoline to make chips. Rinse slices in a colander under running water to remove the starch. Drain on paper towels. Place 1 handful of slices at a time in the deep-fryer, stirring well with the skimmer, and cook for about 2 minutes until soft. Drain on paper towels and season with salt. When all the slices are cooked, turn up the heat of the deep-fryer to 350 degrees F.
• In a bowl, whip the egg whites until firm. Add vinegar, then whip a few minutes more. Fold into the beer batter and mix well. Dip halibut cheeks into the batter 1 at a time. Deep-fry for 4 to 6 minutes, until the batter tuns golden. When all the halibut cheeks are cooked, turn up the heat of the deep-fryer to 375 degrees F.
• Add chips and deep-fry for a second time for about 3 minutes, until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
• Salad:
• Place mesclun in a salad bowl with lobster oil (or walnut oil) and malt vinegar. Toss gently and season, to taste, with salt and pepper.
• To serve, add chips to salad and toss gently to avoid breaking the chips. Place the cooked fish in a plastic basket or individual martini glasses lined with parchment paper. Serve with lemon wedges in a bowl on the side.
