Here's a recipe for Gibraltar Fish and Chips:

Ingredients:

For the Fish:

• 4 fillets of fresh white fish (such as cod or haddock), about 6-8 ounces each
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 cup cold sparkling water or beer
• Vegetable oil, for frying

For the Chips (Fries):

• 4 large potatoes, peeled and cut into thick strips
• Salt, to taste
• Vegetable oil, for frying

Instructions:

Prepare the Chips:

1- Rinse the potato strips under cold water to remove excess starch. Pat them dry with a paper towel.

2- Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large pot to 325°F (160°C).

3- Carefully add the potato strips to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 5-7 minutes until they are soft but not browned.

4- Remove the partially cooked chips from the oil and drain them on paper towels. Increase the heat of the oil to 375°F (190°C).

5- Return the partially cooked chips to the hot oil in batches and fry for another 5-7 minutes, or until they are crispy and golden brown. Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels. Season with salt while still hot.

Prepare the Fish:

1- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper.

2- Gradually whisk in the cold sparkling water or beer until you have a smooth batter. The batter should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.

3- Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large pot to 375°F (190°C).

4- Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels and season them with salt and pepper.

5- Dredge each fillet in the batter, allowing any excess to drip off.

6- Carefully lower the battered fish into the hot oil and fry for about 4-6 minutes, or until the fish is golden brown and cooked through. You may need to fry the fish in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot.

7- Remove the fried fish from the oil and drain on paper towels.

Serve:

1- Serve the hot fish and chips together, accompanied by your favorite condiments such as tartar sauce, malt vinegar, or ketchup.

2- Enjoy your homemade Gibraltar Fish and Chips with a squeeze of lemon and a sprinkle of salt for an authentic taste of the British staple, right in the heart of Gibraltar!
