Cut the potatoes into fries and place in a bowl with warm water. Set aside.

Pour the starter into a shallow bowl.  Add the salt, pepper and paprika. Stir to combine.  Thin with a little water if needed.

Heat 2-4 inches of tallow or oil in a deep skillet or pot to 375*F. 

Dip the fish first in the dry flour then in the batter. Carefully place in the hot oil. Cook 3-5 minutes per side. Or until done.

Place done fish in a warm oven and repeat with the remaining fish.

While cooking the fish, drain and pat dry the fries.

When done with the fish fry the potatoes until golden brown and done.

Serve with tartar sauce and malt vinegar!
