Add 1 cup of flour and beer to eggs, mixing until you get a somewhat heavy pancake like batter, it must be heavier or thick enough to not drip off the fish so easily. Add flour or beer until you have the correct consistency, adjusting batter as needed. A slightly thick batter is OK!

Preheat the fryer with vegetable oil close to about 365°F. Fry each side until golden brown, but not too brown! Once cooked lay each piece on the side of your metal cheese grater to drain. Put plate underneath also. Now dip or add the pieces of cod fish into the batter, blend well. Fish should also be cut in 2 to 3-inch thick strips. Now dip in flour with a little salt and pepper added and blended, to taste. Time to fry your fish and chips! Cook til golden brown!

Occasionally use a cooking type scooper with a metal screen and handle to clean out the burnt residue of the flour. This will keep the oil clean.

Condiments: tartar sauce, lemon wedges, and malt vinegar.
