Arthur Treacher's Fish and Chips
Ingredients
3 pounds fish fillets
1 cup buttermilk
1 lemon, sliced Flour for dredging
2 cups pancake mix
2-1/2 cups club soda
24-oz. vegetable oil for frying ( I now use peanut oil )
1 pound cottage-sliced potatoes, frozenCut fillets in half to make triangle shape.

Method
Cover with buttermilk and sliced lemon and refrigerate for 2 hours. Remove fillets from buttermilk and discard the lemon slices. Dredge fish in flour and let dry for a few minutes. Combine pancake mix and club soda to the consistency of buttermilk. Heat oil in a heavy skillet until hot. Dip floured fillets in bater and let excess drip off. Fry four minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels. To keep fish warm until ready to serve, arrange on a cookie sheet in a single layer and place in a 250*F. oven until all the fish is fried. Thaw frozen potatoes for about 5 minutes. Fry until brown. Serves about 6.
