Preparation:
In large pot heat canola oil on a medium flame until it reaches 325 degrees. Use a thermometer—it will result in crisper fries and battered fish.
Drain the potato wedges and pat dry with paper towels to minimize oil splashing. Place potatoes in the hot oil very carefully so you don’t get burned and cook for approximately five minutes until soft. Remove from oil using a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels until cool.
Increase heat and bring oil temperature to 375 degrees. Place Cod in beer batter and coat evenly. When oil has come to temperature place the potatoes back into the oil and fry until golden brown and crisp. Remove from oil and season with Sea Salt or Kosher Salt. Put aside.
Immediately place fish in oil one piece at a time and agitate the oil so the fish doesn’t stick.
Fry until crisp and golden brown. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels. Serve with fries and coleslaw immediately. Can also be served with tartar sauce, malt vinegar and ketchup.
