Catch a whitefish from the lake.

Let the fish bleed out for 15-20 minutes.

Fillet the fish by running a knife down the backbone and removing the ribs and pin bones.

Use fish tweezers to carefully remove any remaining pin bones from the fillet.

Trim off any dark meat from the fillet.

Cut the potatoes into thick strips and soak them in water to rinse off the starch.

Prepare the first flour mixture for seasoning with spices like turmeric, chipotle, and garlic.

Prepare the second batter by mixing flour, baking soda, and beer until smooth.

Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot until hot.

Drain the soaked potatoes and pat them dry, then fry them until golden and crispy.

Remove the fries and let them cool before frying them again for a double fry.

Coat the fish fillets in the seasoned flour, shaking off the excess, then dip them in the beer batter.

Fry the battered fish until golden brown.

Prepare a quick tartar sauce by chopping up a pickle and mixing it with mayonnaise and lemon juice.

Serve the fish and chips hot, enjoying the freshness of the fish.
