4. To a high-sided heavy pan add the oil to 1/3 full with canola oil and bring up to a temperature of 375°F.

5. Place a wire rack on a baking sheet and place in a 275°F oven.

6. Coat 1 fish filet in the batter and hold up to drain off excess.

7. Drain and put on the wire rack in the oven. Repeat with the other fillets.

8. While the fish is in the oven turn down the heat under the oil until the temperature of the oil reaches 350°F.

Chips

1. Peel 3-4 russet potatoes and cut into 1 inch wedges.
