Cut fish diagonally into strips. Dredge fillets in the batter, one at a time. Working in batches, carefully slide the fillets into the hot oil. Fry batter coated fillets, turning frequently, until they are deep golden brown, and cooked thorough, about 4 to 6 minutes. Drain well on a paper towel lined baking sheet. Keep warm in oven. Fry remaining fish, maintaining oil temperature at 350º.

Fry potatoes again for 1 to 2 minutes for added crispness. Check seasoning, adjust if necessary. Serve with lemon wedges and tartar sauce.
