Whisk in the ale and vinegar until the batter reaches a smooth double cream consistency.

Serve the hot fish immediately with freshly cooked chips.

Fry two fillets at a time for 5-6 minutes until golden-brown and crisp.

Mix cornflour, plain flour, and salt in a large bowl.

Dip a floured fillet into the batter and gently lower it into the 180°C oil.

Season flour with salt in a food bag and coat each fish fillet thoroughly.

Heat sunflower oil in a deep saucepan to 180°C.
