Ingredients

Method

  1. Preheat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add cold beer, stirring until a thick batter forms.
  3. Dip the fish fillets in the batter, ensuring they are fully coated.
  4. Carefully place the battered fish into the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 6-8 minutes.
  5. While the fish is frying, peel and cut the potatoes into chunks. Boil them until tender, then mash with milk, butter, salt, and pepper.
  6. Chop the kale or cabbage and cook it in a separate pan until wilted. Mix it into the mashed potatoes.
  7. Drain the fish and serve with colcannon.
