We loved this version of fish and chips. We bought the Modello Negra just like the recipe said and it was delicious. I loved the mild flavor of beer on the fish. We used Cod and it was perfect. The oven fries were good and my DH tried them in the oil and they were also good.

Yummy! I made this as directed and my DGS and I totally enjoyed it. My fries did take another 20 minutes or so to cook - maybe I cut them too thick. Great meal especially with some malt vinegar. Thanks Nancy. Made for ZWT8 - Great Britain.
