BEER-BATTERED FISH WITH TARTAR SAUCE
One of the things that sticks out most in my mind about my last trip to Ireland is how incredibly good the fish and chips are. They were served in a newspaper cone that was stuffed with waffle fries and fish. This recipe brings back those fond memories. the secret for a crackling crisp coating is to fry fish in small batches. Too many pieces will cool the oil, and the fish will be soggy and greasy. Serve with your favorite chips. The Cod Clan: Atlantic pollack, haddock, and hake are among the members of the extensive cod family. Although these fish vary slightly in terms of texture and flavor, one can generally be substituted for another. Small cod are often called scrod and can certainly be used here. Beer is your best bet to accompany this recipe. If you opt to drink wine, look for one that will mimic beer's palate-cleansing qualities. Try a reasonably priced sparkling wine or an acidic white such as a pinot grigio from Italy.

Steps:
- Combine all the tartar sauce ingredients in a bowl with a pinch each of salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Heat the oven to 200°. Cover a cookie sheet with paper towels and top with a wire rack.
- Heat about 3" of oil to approximately 365° in a medium sized pot.
- Meanwhile, mix flour with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Whisk in egg. Slowly add the beer while whisking.
- Dip fish pieces in the batter and place on plate or the wire rack you will be using to drain the fried fish. I usually double dip in the batter if I have some left over once the batter dries on the awaiting fish.
- Place fish pieces, two at a time in the oil. Cook until the fish is done and the crust is lightly golden, about 4 minutes for 3/4-inch thick fillets.
- Remove fish with tongs and put on rack to drain. Sprinkle salt over the hot fish and put the baking sheet in the oven.
- Repeat in batches with the remaining fish.
- Serve with the tartar sauce.

BEER BATTERED FISH WITH DIPPING SAUCE
This is another recipe I made for a seafood platter night it was really good and again the ingredients listed below are just a guess for 4 people I think it will be about right. As I said in previous posts because I was making this as part of a large platter I cut back on everything because of all the dishes I made. I am also listing 2 of the sauces I made below; The lemon mayonnaise I served with the fish and the twist on the more traditional cocktail sauce I served with the prawns and crab meat. The lobster tails I made from French Tarts Recipe#288456 I wanted a quick easy recipe that would taste great and not take too long as I was going to be busy preparing other dishes this was perfect.

Tips for Perfect Beer Battered Fish:
- Use a light beer for the batter, as it will result in a crispy and light coating.
- Make sure the fish is dry before dipping it into the batter. This will help the batter adhere to the fish and prevent it from becoming soggy.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the fish. This will cause the oil temperature to drop and the fish will not cook evenly.
- Fry the fish until it is golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature of the fish should reach 145°F (63°C).
- Serve the fish immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
Conclusion:
Beer battered fish is a classic dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With the right ingredients and techniques, you can create a delicious and crispy fish that will be enjoyed by everyone. Serve it with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
