CAPTAIN D'S BATTER-DIPPED FISH



Captain D's Batter-Dipped Fish image

This is a clone that should be pretty close to the fish you get at Captain D's. I listed two optional ingredients because I ran across a recipe very similar except with a little spice added. Captains D's fish is basically a variation of Fish n Chips, so this probably something you can tweak and perfect by watching videos of fish n chips being prepared. Note: I have spoken to some and they've suggested that maybe Captain D's uses Cod. I've tried Cod and the meat just did not taste like the Captain D's in my area, so experiment with Cod, Pollock, Haddock, etc and see what works for you. Also, make sure your fish is dry. You don't want to try to make this with wet and water-logged fish. Pat it dry with a paper towel. I've known some to then rest the fish in the fridge or counter top to allow to fish to dry out some. Not using fresh fish can give you even more trouble.

BATTER DIPPED FISH

Provided by Gloria

Categories     < 30 Mins

Time 25m

Yield 6 pieces, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 cups soybean oil
2 lbs cod fish fillets
1 cup self rising flour
1/3 cup dry mustard
1 cup water
1 egg
2 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons salt

Steps:

  • Sift together mustard and flour.
  • Heat oil to 400°.
  • Cut the fish into 7x2-inch pieces.
  • With a mixer blend the flour mixture with the water, egg, sugar and salt.
  • Dip fish into the batter, coating well.
  • Drop into the hot oil.
  • Fry fish until dark golden brown.
  • Remove and drain on paper towels.

Tips:

  • To ensure the fish fillets remain moist and tender, pat them dry with paper towels before coating them in the batter.
  • When preparing the batter, make sure the ingredients are cold to create a light and crispy coating. You can even chill the batter for 30 minutes before using it.
  • To achieve an even coating on the fish fillets, dip them in the batter and then lift them out, allowing the excess batter to drip off before carefully placing them in the hot oil.
  • Use a deep fryer or a large saucepan filled with enough oil to completely submerge the fish fillets. The oil should be heated to the correct temperature, typically between 350°F (175°C) and 375°F (190°C), before adding the fish.
  • Avoid overcrowding the pan with fish fillets as this can cause the oil temperature to drop, resulting in soggy batter.
  • Cook the fish fillets in batches to ensure they cook evenly and the batter remains crispy. Adjust the cooking time based on the thickness of the fillets.
  • Once the fish fillets are golden brown and cooked through, carefully remove them from the oil using a slotted spoon and drain any excess oil on paper towels.
  • Serve the battered fish immediately with your favorite sides such as tartar sauce, lemon wedges, or malt vinegar. Enjoy the crispy coating and tender fish inside!
