Time 1h25m

Number Of Ingredients 22

50g plain flour
50g cornflour
1 tsp baking powder
turmeric
75ml lager beer
75ml sparkling water
about 1 litre sunflower oil, for frying
400g fillet sustainable cod, hake or haddock, halved
750g potatoes, Maris Piper or Desiree, peeled and sliced into thick chips
2 tbsp plain flour
2 tbsp sunflower oil
50g plain flour
50g cornflour
1 tsp baking powder
turmeric
75ml lager beer
75ml sparkling water
about 1 litre sunflower oil, for frying
400g fillet sustainable cod, hake or haddock, halved
750g potatoes, Maris Piper or Desiree, peeled and sliced into thick chips
2 tbsp plain flour
2 tbsp sunflower oil

Steps:

  • Combine the flour, cornflour, baking powder and turmeric in a large bowl, season, then spoon 1 tbsp onto a plate and set aside. Gradually pour the beer and water into the bowl, stirring with a wooden spoon until you have a smooth, lump-free batter. Leave to rest for 30 mins while you prepare the chips.
  • Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Boil a large pan of water, then add the chipped potatoes and boil for 2-3 mins until the outsides are just tender but not soft. drain well, then tip onto a large baking tray with the flour, oil and some salt. Gently toss together until all the potatoes are evenly coated and the flour is no longer dusty. Roast for 30 mins, turning occasionally, until the chips are golden and crisp.
  • To cook the fish, heat the 1 litre oil in a deep saucepan until a drop of batter sizzles and crisps up straight away. Pat the fish dry with kitchen paper, then toss it in the reserved turmeric flour mix. Shake off any excess, then dip into the batter. Carefully lower each fillet into the hot oil and fry for 6-8 mins - depending on the thickness of the fish - until golden and crisp. Using a large slotted spoon, lift out the fish, drain on kitchen paper, then sprinkle with salt. Serve with the hot chips and Homemade tomato sauce (see 'goes well with').

Tips:

  • Use a light beer for the batter, such as a lager or pilsner. This will help to create a crispy batter that is not too heavy.
  • Make sure the fish is well-coated in the batter before frying. This will help to ensure that the fish is evenly cooked and the batter does not fall off.
  • Fry the fish in hot oil. This will help to create a crispy outer layer and a tender, flaky interior.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan when frying the fish. This will cause the oil temperature to drop and the fish will not cook evenly.
  • Serve the fish immediately with your favorite sides, such as tartar sauce, coleslaw, or french fries.

Conclusion:

Beer-battered fish is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a casual meal or a special occasion. By following the tips above, you can create a perfect beer-battered fish that will be sure to impress your friends and family.
