Gluten free Battered Fish and Chips is not especially difficult or scary. To enjoy the kind of fish and chips you crave you simply need to create a system to deep-fry in your kitchen. Once you’ve done it a few times the process gets easier so not having a set up is the only thing that makes it difficult.
If you own a deep fryer or air fryer great, but it’s not required. I deep-fry in my wok. It requires less oil, has a large surface area for cooking and already has a spot in my kitchen. If you don’t have a wok (you really should have a wok) you can still deep-fry in a pot. (Warning – That may just make you want to buy a wok.)
I hear people raving about their hot air fryers but I haven’t succumbed to that purchase yet.

Since you have hot oil you might as well make the chips. The label on frozen French fries has about a dozen ingredients on it, that’s what you learn when you read labels! I don’t know much about food manufacturing but I know anyone can cut up a potato and fry it. So just do that and I guarantee you’ll get better each time you do it.
I would never buy tartar sauce in a bottle. It is made of ingredients already in my fridge and since I don’t use it often that bottle would be there for years. For a fast and easy tartar sauce mix a big blob of mayo, a spoonful of green relish and a squirt of lemon juice.
The tartar sauce recipe here is next level. It has seven ingredients (probably in your fridge) and is worth trying. Of course you can simply squeeze fresh lemon on your fish right at the table. You decide.
FOOD WASTE TIP – Mix leftover tartar sauce with more mayo into canned tuna or salmon for a salad or a sandwich. |
America’s Test Kitchen is a wealth of knowledge like no other and they can cook gluten free too. They do more work than any home cook could ever do to figure out what makes a recipe work and they share that knowledge in their cookbooks. I highly recommend any of these books to give as a gift or as a treat for yourself.
