Step 1 of 4

Step 2 of 4
Meanwhile beat together the flour and beer, then season well with salt and pepper.
Step 3 of 4
Fill a large, deep saucepan one-third full with oil and heat until a cube of bread browns in 30 seconds. Pat the chips dry with kitchen paper. Deep-fry in batches for 5 minutes until golden.
Step 4 of 4
Season the fish and dust with the cornflour. Dip into the batter until coated, shake off any excess and deep-fry in batches for 7 minutes, using tongs to turn the fish over. Drain on kitchen paper. Keep warm in a low oven. Increase the heat until a cube of bread browns in 15 seconds. Deep-fry the chips again in batches for 2 minutes until crisp and golden. Serve with the fish and mushy peas with lemon wedges on the side.
