Ingredients

  1. Two 12.5-ounce packages frozen beer-battered cod
  2. One 28-ounce package frozen shoestring fries
  3. 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  4. 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  5. 1 1/2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  6. 1 1/2 teaspoons mustard powder
  7. Kosher salt
  8. 3/4 cup beer
  9. 1/2 cup half-and-half
  10. Dash hot sauce
  11. 2 cups grated Cheddar
  12. 3 tablespoons chopped chives
  13. Lemon wedges, for serving
  14. Malt vinegar, for serving

Instructions

  1. Position oven racks in the top and bottom third of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F.
  2. Arrange the cod in a single layer on a baking sheet. Arrange the fries in a single layer on a second baking sheet. Bake, tossing the fries and rotating the baking sheets front to back and top to bottom halfway through, until the cod and fries are golden and crispy, about 16 minutes.   
  3. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour, smoked paprika, mustard powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Whisk in the beer, half-and-half and hot sauce and bring to a simmer; simmer, until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the Cheddar until melted. 
  4. Divide the cod and fries among 4 plates. Drizzle the fries with half the sauce and sprinkle with the chives. Serve with lemon wedges, malt vinegar and the remaining sauce on the side.

If I was to go buy these things at the store why would I need to look up a recipe on food network when the instructions are on the back of the box. I hope this is not what cooking is coming to. The art of cooking is the time to rid yourself of everything that was good and bad of the day. Make a smothered steak. Use a meat Mallot and beat the heck out of it. Frustration gone. Fabulous dinner served.
