Ingredients

Step cooking

1. Cut the fish fillet into 1 cm thick strips. Then cut each strip at an angle so that its length is about 7-10 cm. Put the strips on a flat plate in one layer and add a little salt.
   
2. Wash the lemon, cut in half, and squeeze the juice from one half onto the fish fillet. So the fish will marinate and will have a pleasant sourish aftertaste. 3-5 minutes are enough for this.
   
3. Peel and wash the potatoes. Cut for french fries. To do this, cut off the convex walls from each tuber and cut into 1 cm thick plates. Cut the potato slices into 1 1 cm slices, dry well.
   
4. To make a batter, take a deep bowl and break the eggs into it. Then add about 50 ml of white wine.
   
5. Add also 100 ml of fat cream, a little salt and ground black pepper. Beat the contents well with a whisk until smooth.
   
6. In small portions, stirring occasionally, add the sifted flour. Add flour until you reach the consistency of 30% sour cream. If the dough is quite thick, you can dilute it with wine or cream.
   
7. Chop greens not very finely and send to batter.
   
8. Pour approximately 0.5 L of refined vegetable oil into a deep pan or deep-frying pan with high sides. Let the oil warm up well, practically bring to a boil.
   
9. Pour potatoes into the pan.
   
10. Roll fish pieces well in flour. Then dip in the batter. The batter should cover the fish evenly on all sides.
    
11. Send the fish to the potato pan, level it a little with a spatula and fry together. The approximate frying time is 5-7 minutes.
    
12. To prepare the sauce, you need to cut the pickled cucumber into thin fine straws, but in no case rub on a grater.
    
13. In a saucepan, mix chopped cucumber, sour cream, mayonnaise, ketchup and mix well. If desired, hot pepper or mustard can be added.
    
14. When the potatoes and fish became golden, you need to get everything out of boiling oil with a slotted spoon. Allow the oil to drain a little and put it on parchment. When forming a serving, try to have about the same amount of french fries and fish.
