In honor of Saint Patrick's Day today, we tried this fantastic recipe for Fish and Chips. We don't do a lot of deep frying around here, so I wasn't sure of how successful this venture would be, but everything turned out great--MUCH better than the "authentic" fish 'n' chips I experienced on Saint Patty's Day in Dublin a few years ago, though that's not saying much. At least our homemade version didn't include the whole cod's tail and scales. Mark made the chips and I took on the task of fixing the fish. We subbed tilapia for cod filets and 1/2 cup of beer for 1/2 of the milk called for, as suggested by those crazy fans on allrecipes.com All in all, a recommendable treat.
