Step-by-Step Instructions

Step	Procedure
1	Marinate the Fish: Sprinkle the fish fillets evenly with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for approximately one hour to enhance flavor.
2	Prepare Tartar Sauce: In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, sweetened condensed milk, lime juice, and chopped onions. Mix thoroughly until smooth.
3	Make Cheese Sauce: Melt butter in a pan over medium heat. Quickly stir in the flour and cook briefly. Gradually add water while stirring. Add shredded cheddar cheese, stirring constantly until the sauce is smooth and free of lumps. Remove from heat.
4	Fry the Potatoes: Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot. Fry the French fries until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels and season lightly with salt.
5	Prepare Batter and Fry Fish: Mix the dry flour ingredients well. In a separate bowl, combine 180 grams of the dry flour mix with water and vinegar to form the wet batter. Coat the marinated fish fillets first in the dry flour mixture, then dip them into the wet batter. Immediately fry in hot oil until the batter is golden and the fish is cooked through.
