Fish and Chips is a classic British dish served in pubs. It typically consists of batter fried fish and chips, which are thick-cut fries. Here is my version of a vegan fish and chips made from tofu!

1. Cut a block of super firm tofu into large chunks. I cut mine into fourths and then slightly diagonally across to give it an image of cut fish.
2. Place the pieces of tofu in a pan with water and bring to medium heat. Chop up 1 sheet of nori with scissors and sprinkle the chunks into the water. Then add miso paste, soy sauce, white wine, and lemon juice, creating a broth for the tofu to simmer in. This will allow the tofu to absorb the fish and umami flavors of the broth.
3. After simmering for 10 minutes in the broth, let the "fish" filets cool for about an hour in the fridge. Let the leftover broth cool as well.
4. After an hour, pour 1 cup of all-purpose flour into a mixing bowl. Add baking soda, another nori sheet cut up, and the leftover broth. Mix well and add water to adjust the consistency until it becomes a batter.
5. Set the batter aside and begin working on the chips. Slice three Russet potatoes into thick-cut fries. Place the cut pieces in a bowl and wash them a few times. Then add a pinch of salt and coat with oil.
6. Place your fries in an air-fryer at 350℉ for 15 minutes or fry them at 350℉ for about 5 minutes until they are golden brown.
7. Once the fries are done, salt them and set aside. It is now time to work on the fried "fish." Dip the tofu chucks into the batter and fry in the same oil as the fries until they are golden brown. If you are using an air fryer, bake at 350℉ for 10 minutes.
8. Once the tofu has fried or while they are in the air fryer, prepare a quick tartar sauce in a small bowl, add vegan mayonnaise, pickle relish, dill, and celery salt. Mix and serve with the fish and chips. Enjoy!
