Frozen fish and chips. How does it taste?
Frozen "Fish & Chips" is one of Aeon's "World Dining" series, which uses frozen foods and retort foods from around the world. I tried to see how much I could reproduce the freshly fried taste that comes out in the shop.
A snack from the UK, fish and chips with white fish fritters and french fries in vinegar and tartar sauce. It often appears as a beer companion, and there are many people who have picked it up in pubs such as "HUB".
It's an undecorated dish, but it's a hassle to make it from scratch at home. Buying white fish, preparing tartar sauce ingredients, and procuring potatoes is a job.
Aeon's fish and chips are a set of walleye pollock fritters, potatoes, and tartar sauce, which is quite convenient. The price is 321 yen (excluding tax). Calories are 394 kcal per bag. All the recipes are written on the package, so I'll try it exactly.
First, spread aluminum foil on the toaster oven and arrange the frozen fritters and potatoes so that they do not overlap. If you can't line up, don't overdo it and divide it into multiple times. Then heat for about 10 minutes.

While waiting, pour the tartar sauce into a bowl and add mayonnaise to complete the sauce. There is no particular description about how much the ratio of mayonnaise and sauce should be, so I halved it.

Just mix and you have a tartar sauce
When I opened the oven after 10 minutes, it was well baked, or rather, it was fried. It was so hot that I couldn't pinch it with my bare hands, and the clothes looked crisp. The smell of fragrant oil rises. When I cut the fritters with a knife, the inside is fluffy.

Serve on a platter, bring to the table, first add sauce to the fritters and bite. The crispy texture of the clothes, the elegant flavor of walleye pollock, and the rich tartar are combined to create a truly junky taste. Speaking of luxury, I prefer tartar sauce to be a little more spicy, but this can be adjusted by shaking the black pepper at home.

Then try french fries. This has a slightly firm texture and a strong potato odor. There is a personality that is not defeated even with tartar sauce. I felt that it was even more complete than fritters. Since the amount is large, it seems good to enjoy the taste of potatoes while changing the taste with fish.
In conclusion, the reproduction was quite high. If you adjust the taste of tartar sauce, or prepare ketchup and vinegar separately, you can compete with the ones that come out in the store. Guinness and Yebisu black beer seems to go well.
