Can I just start by saying please excuse the blurry photos in this post. My hard drive decided to die on me and take ALL my photos with it. Yep. Thousands of photos. Gone. I had to extract these images from the video. I’m so glad you guys could not hear the words that came out of my mouth. So unlady-like. I don’t want to think about it. Let’s carry on. Shall we?

I can’t even tell you the last time I made beer battered fish and chips. We just don’t fry foods in this house very often but when we do….have mercy….I have to admit, it’s divine!!

Why does perfectly fried foods have to taste so daggum good y’all??

Homemade tarter sauce and ketchup is a MUST! I had the nerve to try to cheat and use the bottled kind and never again. I posted this recipe on my blog a looong time ago for homemade tarter sauce and I quickly whipped up a batch to go with these fish n chips. It’s really good!
