American here, looking for some help from those of you that grew up on this dish....
I've finally got my family to agree to let me make some Fish & Chips for dinner, so I am here to ask some questions about cooking it. I am making it this Saturday, so we've got a few days to go over this. I am planning on buying cod for this, and I live by the water and it is in season, so it will be fresh.
Here are my questions:
I've been excited to make this since we were talking about it here, and it was on a cooking show today so my mom started to get the craving for it too. On the cooking show the lady didn't use beer in her batter, but I plan on doing so. As for the potatoes, she cut them in wedges and baked them with olive oil and rosemary, but that seems like blasphemy, so I would like to do it the traditional way instead of some of the Americanized ways that I have seen it.
Thanks

Here are my questions:
- What type of oil should I use
- Is beer batter the way to go, and if so, what type of beer should I use
- What's a good way to cut and prepare the potatoes before frying, and do I peel them
- Should I buy malt vinegar for this or can I make my red wine vinegar work
