CRUNCHY BATTER FRIED FISH (NO BEER)



Crunchy Batter Fried Fish (No Beer) image

I had great reviews with my other fish recipe recipe #104409. But I'm always striving to improve. I did some experimenting, and this fish batter is great! Serve it with recipe #104661, fries and coleslaw. Or make it into a fish sandwich with tartar sauce and lettuce on a bun. Either way, it's delish!

Time 30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 lbs cod (fresh or frozen and thawed)
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, divided
1/2 cup cornstarch, divided
1 teaspoon baking powder
16 ounces club soda
1 teaspoon salt (plus seasoning of your choice..Old Bay, Lemon Pepper etc)
oil (for frying)

Steps:

  • Mix together 1 cup flour, 1/4 cup cornstarch, baking powder and salt in a bowl.
  • Stir in enough club soda to make a batter about the consistency of thin pancake batter. You don't want it too thick, just thick enough to nicely coat a spoon.
  • Season the batter to taste if desired with seasoning of your choice. I suggest Old Bay, Lemon Pepper seasoning, or seasoned salt. set aside.
  • In another bowl, mix together remaining 1/4 cup flour and 1/4 cup cornstarch.
  • Heat oil in a deep pan to 375°F Use a candy thermometer if you need to. Oil in pan should be about 3" to 4" deep.
  • Cut fish into portion sizes and remove any pin bones, and pat dry.
  • Dredge the fish in the dry flour/cornstarch mixture. Shake off any excess.This allows the batter to stick to the fish.
  • Dip dredged fish into batter allowing any excess to drip off before carefully adding the fish to the hot oil.
  • Cook the fish one or two pieces at a time until golden brown.
  • Drain on paper towels or better yet, on a cake cooling rack set up over paper towels.
  • Serve while hot.

EASY BEER BATTER



Easy Beer Batter image

First rule of beer batter: Beer batter is not complicated, it should only contain beer and self-raising flour. Second rule of beer batter: The beer should be cold. Third rule of beer batter: You DO NOT need to sift the flour and don't over-whisk it. A few lumps actually makes for a better texture. Fourth and most important rule of beer batter: It is important to choose the correct beer according to what you are going to cook. As any ingredient ranges in texture and taste, so does beer.

  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make it tough.

  • Don't overcrowd the pan. Overcrowding the pan will make the fish soggy.
  • Cook the fish until it is golden brown. This will ensure that the fish is cooked through.
  • Serve the fish immediately. Serve the fish with your favorite dipping sauce.
