Pep ’n Zest & Saltitude Fish & Chips Serves: 4 Prep: 20 minutes Cooking: 25–30 minutes   Golden, crispy battered hake served with hot slap chips seasoned with BlixSam Pep ’n Zest, then finished with a punchy shake of BlixSam Saltitude. Classic fish & chips with a lekker BlixSam twist.   Ingredients   For the Fish   800 g hake fillets, cut into portions 1 tbsp BlixSam Pep ’n Zest – Lemon Pepper 1 cup cake flour ½ cup cornflour 1 tsp baking powder 1 egg 1 cup ice-cold soda water Oil, for frying BlixSam Saltitude – Salt & Vinegar, for finishing   For the Chips   1 kg potatoes, peeled and cut into thick slap chips Oil, for frying 1½ tbsp BlixSam Pep ’n Zest BlixSam Saltitude, for finishing   To Serve   Lemon wedges Tartare sauce Fresh parsley, chopped   Method   1. Cut the potatoes into thick slap chips. Rinse in cold water, drain and pat completely dry.   2. Fry the chips in hot oil until tender and golden. Drain well.   3. While piping hot, toss the chips with Pep ’n Zest. Keep warm while preparing the fish.   4. Pat the hake completely dry and lightly season with Pep ’n Zest.   5. In a bowl, combine the cake flour, cornflour and baking powder.   6. Add the egg and gradually whisk in the ice-cold soda water until you have a smooth batter. Don’t overmix.   7. Lightly dust each piece of hake with flour, dip into the batter and allow the excess to drip off.   8. Fry at approximately 180°C for 4–6 minutes, depending on thickness, until beautifully golden, crispy and cooked through.   9. Drain the fish on kitchen paper or a wire rack.   10. Plate the crispy fish with the Pep ’n Zest slap chips. Just before serving, give both the fish and chips a generous shake of Saltitude.   Serve immediately with tartare sauce, parsley and plenty of fresh lemon wedges.   💛 BlixSam Tip   Keep the batter ice cold and the frying oil hot — that temperature difference helps create a beautifully light, crispy coating.   Use Pep ’n Zest for the savoury lemon-pepper base, then add Saltitude at the very end so that bold salt-and-vinegar kick stays front and centre.   🐟 Golden hake.
