You can leave this out if you prefer, but it really is delicious.

Who doesn’t love fish and chips! Growing up in Ireland it was always the treat on a Friday night, served in newspaper, eating it on the pier. I don’t live by the sea now and so it’s become something that I do at home when I miss my other home, Ireland. The batter is light and crisp (make sure theoil is very hot), chips are crunchy and floury on the inside (I like a maris piper) and a homemade tartare sauce that you can make in under 5 minutes.
