Rinse the potato sticks in cold water, pat dry. Fill a pot to ⅓ with oil and heat it to approx. 145°C. Add the dry potatoes in batches using a slotted spoon, fry for approx. 2 mins. Remove, leave to cool on a rack lined with paper towels. Turn the temperature up to approx. 180°C. Deep-fry the potatoes in batches for approx. 2½ mins. until crispy and golden. Remove, season with salt.

To deep-fry the fish

Salt the fish, dip in the batter in batches. Allow the excess batter to drip off, deep-fry for approx. 4 mins. until golden, turning occasionally. Remove, drain on paper towels, serve with the chips and mayonnaise.
