Categories     Main Dish

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup flour
1/8 cup corn starch
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
1 cup cold water
1 cup bread crumbs
oil for frying

Steps:

  • Prep your fish by removing the skin (if any) and cutting into pieces sized about as big as a deck of cards prior to mixing your batter.
  • Preheat your oil as well. Ideal frying temperature is about 365. If the oil is not hot enough you'll end up with greasy fish. If it's too hot you'll burn the batter before the fish is cooked through. The batter needs to be used immediately after it's mixed. Baking powder is temperamental and doesn't wait for cold oil!
  • Combine all the dry ingredients except for the bread crumbs, and stir well to evenly distribute. Stir in the cold water and immediately dip fish in the batter, and then do a quick coat in the bread crumbs and carefully put into the preheated oil.
  • Cook until golden brown and the fish is cooked through.

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!

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

Steps:

  • 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.

  • 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.

Tips:

  • Use the right fish: White fish, such as cod, haddock, and tilapia, work best for this recipe.
  • Make sure the fish is dry: Pat the fish dry with paper towels before coating it in the batter. This will help the batter adhere to the fish.
  • Use a light touch when coating the fish in batter: Don't press the fish into the batter, as this will make the batter too thick and heavy.
  • Fry the fish in hot oil: The oil should be at least 350°F (175°C) before you add the fish. This will help the fish cook quickly and evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: Fry the fish in batches if necessary. Overcrowding the pan will lower the temperature of the oil and make the fish soggy.
  • Cook the fish until it is golden brown and flaky: The fish is cooked when it flakes easily with a fork.

Conclusion:

This crispy fish batter recipe is a quick and easy way to make delicious fried fish. The batter is light and airy, and it doesn't require any beer. So if you're looking for a delicious and easy fried fish recipe, this is the one for you!
