2 (8- to 10-ounce) {{ingredientlink|name=red-skinned potatoes}}or {{ingredientlink|name=russet potatoes}}or {{ingredientlink|name=idaho potatoes}}, unpeeled, cut into 1/8- to 1/4-inch-thick rounds, or cut length-wise into eights<br>

3 qt {{ingredientlink|name=Vegetable oil}}(96 fl oz)<br>

1 cup {{ingredientlink|name=rice flour}}<br>

1 cup {{ingredientlink|name=all-purpose flour}}<br>

1 1/2 teaspoons {{ingredientlink|name=Old Bay Seasoning}}

1 (12-oz) bottle cold {{ingredientlink|name=Beer}}(preferably ale) or club soda<br>

1 1/2 lb {{ingredientlink|name=Haddock}}or {{ingredientlink|name=Cod}}fillets or {{ingredientlink|name=Tilapia}}fillets, skinned, pin bones removed, and fish cut diagonally into 1-inch-wide strips (5 to 6 inches long)<br>

Hold {{ingredientlink|name=Potatoes}}in a large bowl of cold water.<br>

Heat {{ingredientlink|name=Vegetable oil}}in a deep 6-quart heavy pot over moderately high heat until it registers 325°F on thermometer. While oil is heating, drain potatoes and dry thoroughly with paper towels. Fry potatoes, stirring gently, until edges are just golden, about 4 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to a rack to drain.<br>

Increase oil temperature to 375°F. Place {{ingredientlink|name=Flour}}into a bowl, then whisk in {{ingredientlink|name=Beer}}gently until just combined. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon salt and rest of the ingredients.<br>

Place potatoes back in oil. Dredge fish in remaining 1/2 cup flour, shaking off excess. Coat 4 pieces of fish in batter, 1 at a time, and slide, as coated, into oil with the potatoes. Fry coated fish and potatoes, turning over frequently, until deep golden and cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to rack on a paper-towel-lined baking sheet; fry in batches if necessary, returning oil to 375°F between batches.<br>
