Method

1. Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or heavy pot to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a bowl, mix flour, salt, pepper, and a splash of cold beer to create a smooth batter.
3. Dip the plaice fillets into the batter, ensuring they are fully coated.
4. Carefully place the battered fish into the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy.
5. While the fish fries, cut potatoes into thick fries and fry until golden brown.
6. Drain both the fish and fries on paper towels and serve immediately.
