Combine 1 cup self-rising flour, 2 tbsp rice flour, and 0.5 tsp baking powder in a stainless steel mixing bowl, whisk thoroughly, and place the bowl in the freezer until ready to use.
Watch out
Dry ingredients must be chilled thoroughly in the freezer
if the batter mix is warm, it will not create a crisp crust when it hits the hot oil
Handle raw fish carefully and wash hands thoroughly afterwards to prevent cross-contamination of bacteria.
Take 3 pieces of thawed frozen cod, use paper towels to pat them completely dry of excess moisture, cut each fillet down the middle to form 1-inch thick strips, lightly dust them in 1 tbsp rice flour mixed with 0.25 tsp salt, shake off excess, transfer to a crinkled foil-lined plate, and place in the refrigerator to keep cold.
Watch out
Frozen fish must be thoroughly patted dry with paper towels
any remaining surface moisture will cause the oil to splatter violently and prevent the batter from sticking
Remove the dry flour mixture from the freezer, pour in 1 cup of cold lager beer, and whisk thoroughly until you achieve a thick pancake batter consistency.
Watch out
Whisk the beer into the cold dry ingredients just until combined
overmixing will develop gluten and eliminate the carbonation needed for crispiness
Hot oil can cause severe burns; lower the fish gently away from your body to prevent hot oil from splashing.
Heat 4 cups of vegetable oil in a deep fryer to 375 F. Dip 2 pieces of cold dried fish into the batter to coat fully, lift out, let most of the excess batter drip off, and carefully place them into the hot oil by sliding them away from you. Fry for 3 to 4 minutes until crispy and golden brown, then remove with a wire skimmer and drain on paper towels.

Do not attempt to flip the fish too early or the delicate coating will tear
let them cook undisturbed until the crust sets and browns naturally
Arrange 1 bag of potato chips on a newspaper-lined serving plate, place the freshly fried crispy fish on top, and serve immediately.
