2- Cut fish into 4-5 ounce portions.

3- In a large shallow container combine flour, baking powder, cayenne pepper, salt and garlic. Set it aside.

4- Pour the buttermilk into a bowl and add few drops of Tabasco sauce, Mix well. Add the fish fillets and turn to coat all sides. Cover dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

5- Pull the fish out of the batter, let the excess batter run back into the bowl. Gently roll each piece in flour mixture to coat. Set aside on a plate ready to fry right after the potato chips.

6- Finely slice the potatoes into chips using food processor, mandoline or just slice by hand with a good chef’s knife. Drop the potato chips into a bowl of ice water. Soaking them helps to remove the excess starch and also is the key for the potatoes chips to be crispy. Soak for 30 minutes.

7- Drain the potato slices and dry them thoroughly with paper towels.

8- In a deep heavy saucepan, heat about 2 inch of vegetable oil to 350 degrees F.

9- Fry the potato slices in batches until golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Drain on paper towels, season with salt. Keep warm in a 200° oven.

10- When the potatoes are done frying. Take the fish out of the fridge. One piece at a time, place them in the same hot oil; cook until crispy and golden, 2 to 4 minutes per side.

11- Keep warm in a 200° oven while you fry remaining fish.

12- Serve on a platter or wrapped in a newspaper cone with vinegar or tartar sauce. If using newspaper cone make sure to place a white parchment like wrapping paper completely wrapped in newspaper.
