Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 14

Vegetable Oil (for frying)
White Fish (such as Cod, Pollock, Haddock or Perch) Filets, cut into serving-sized pieces
3/4 cup Corn Flour
2 tablespoons Cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon Baking Soda
1/4 teaspoon Baking Powder
1/4 teaspoon Onion Powder
1/4 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1/4 teaspoon Paprika
1/4 teaspoon Sugar
1/2 teaspoon Salt (or more, to taste)
3/4 cup Beer (preferably Dark, and NEVER Lite), Sparkling Water, Club Soda or Water
1 cup Cornstarch (for dredging)
Malt Vinegar (for serving)

Steps:

  • Sift dry ingredients, corn flour, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, into a bowl.
  • Add sugar and salt. Mix well.
  • Slowly add beer, sparkling water, club soda or water and mix well to make a batter. Set aside.
  • Add 1 cup cornstarch into a second bowl. Set aside.
  • Fill a pan or skillet with about 1 inch of oil.
  • Heat to medium high heat on the stove.
  • When oil is hot, place piece of fish into cornstarch. Flip and roll around, pressing slightly, to coat fully and evenly.
  • Immediately dip in batter. Cover completely.
  • Move fish over oil and allow excess batter to dip into oil to create the "krums" as you very carefully lower fish into oil.
  • Repeat with 1 or 2 more pieces of fish. Do not crowd the pan.
  • Fry krums and fish to a nice golden brown. Krums will finish first, the fish should take about 5 minutes.
  • With a spider strainer, remove the krums as finish and then the fish to a paper towel-covered plate or wire rack to drain.
  • Repeat until all fish filets are cooked.
  • If you like, drizzle the remaining batter into the hot oil to make more krums.
  • Serve with Malt Vinegar.

LONG JOHN SILVER'S FISH BATTER RECIPE (+ SECRET INGREDIENT)

Categories     Copycat Recipes

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound cod filets
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoon corn starch
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon paprika
3/4 cup club soda (can also use plain water)
Oil for frying

Steps:

  • First, make the batter by combining all of the dry ingredients. Mix together.
  • Add club soda and mix until combined. Batter's done!
  • Pat dry 1 pound of cod fillet with a paper towel. Removing its excess liquid will reduce splatter as you fry it.
  • Place two pieces of cod fillet into the batter. Let them sit for a few minutes so the batter thoroughly coats the fish.
  • While the fillet's are sitting in the batter, fill up a small cast-iron skillet with oil until it is 1/2 to 3/4 inches deep. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350 degrees Fahrenheit. This will take about 5-10 minutes. Use a deep-frying thermometer so you know when you've hit 350 degrees F.
  • Place two pieces of battered fish into the skillet and fry for 3-4 minutes. Do not over-crowd the skillet as this will lower the oil's temperature.
  • Flip the fish over and fry for another 3-4 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Transfer the fillets into a plate lined with paper towels. This will help get rid of excess oil.
  • Let the oil reach 350 degrees Fahrenheit before adding the next batch of fish. Repeat until you've fried the entire pound of cod fillets.
  • Enjoy!

LONG JOHN SILVER'S BATTERED FISH (COPYCAT)



Long John Silver's Battered Fish (Copycat) image

My revised reverse-engineered recipe for Long John Silver's "Battered Fish" also makes an excellent batter for deep-fried prawns, mushrooms, onion rings and even Chinese chicken drumettes (serve with a dipping sauce of light soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic and snipped green onion, with a splash of dry sherry or sake). PLEASE NOTE: The Nutritional Information listing here is inaccurate -- since only a fraction of flour and salt actually end up in the finished product. So be aware -- the suggested sodium, sugar, carbohydrate and calorie levels are ridiculously exaggerated!

Categories     Whitefish

Time 1h15m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 1/2-2 lbs boneless white fish (cod, halibut, or pollock)
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
6 tablespoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon masa harina
1 tablespoon fine sea salt
2 teaspoons powdered sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon Accent seasoning
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
3/8 teaspoon ground fennel
3/8 teaspoon ground tarragon
3/8 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/4 teaspoon celery salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1 3/4 cups cold water
2 tablespoons lemon juice
3/4 teaspoon malt vinegar
canola oil

Steps:

  • NOTE: IF USING SELF-RISING FLOUR -- REDUCE SEA SALT TO 1 1/2 TEASPOONS THEN OMIT BAKING POWDER AND BAKING SODA -- AND USE REGULAR WATER INSTEAD OF CLUB SODA. FOR EASY GRINDING OF FENNEL SEED, PULSE A CLEAN SPICE MILL OR COFFEE GRINDER WITH THE CORNSTARCH AND SEA SALT UNTIL FINELY GROUND, THEN ADD TO DRY BATTER.
  • THAW fresh boneless white fish if frozen; CUT filets into 3-inch x 4 inch pieces; PREPARE a light sea salt/water bath to brine fish in for 20 minutes (brine should only be "as salty as the ocean").
  • POUR enough canola oil in deep-fryer to completely immerse fish in; INSERT the deep-fryer basket; PREHEAT oil slowly in gradual increments to 360°F.
  • MEASURE all DRY BATTER AND DREDGING ingredients into a large bowl; WHISK mixture well until thoroughly blended; REMOVE 2 cups of mixture and transfer to another large bowl for the BATTER.
  • INTO the large bowl containing the 2 cups reserved DRY BATTER, whisk in the LIQUID BATTER ingredients, without over-mixing.
  • REMOVE fish from sea salt bath; BLOT fish lightly; COAT the fish very lightly on all sides with the reserved dry dredging, being careful not to tear or break fish (use a flat metal spatula to turn fish if necessary).
  • DIP dredged fish in prepared batter to coat fish evenly, using a flat spatula to lift; ALLOW excess batter to drain; DROP battered fish slowly and carefully into the preheated fryer (MAKE SURE FISH DOESN'T SINK AND STICK TO BOTTOM OF FRYER BASKET; IF THIS HAPPENS, LIFT BASKET AND CAREFULLY LOOSEN FISH WITH A FLAT STAINLESS STEEL SPATULA).
  • DEEP-FRY fish in preheated 360°F canola oil without overcrowding until breading is golden, and fish is tender-flaky; PLACE cooked fish on absorbent paper to drain (keep filets warmed if necessary, in a preheated 170 F oven); REPEAT frying process with remaining fish.
  • ALLOW hot fried fish to cool slightly before serving; SERVE with fresh lemon slices and desired condiments -- tartar sauce, cocktail sauce, cream horseradish, hot sauce, malt vinegar.
  • SERVE and enjoy!

LONG JOHN SILVER'S FISH BATTER RECIPE - (3.9/5)



Long John Silver's Fish Batter Recipe - (3.9/5) image

Provided by HyzQueen

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 fish or chicken filets
1 1/2 cups flour
4 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups water
Vegetable oil for frying

Steps:

  • In a mixing bowl, sift flour, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder and salt together. Add the water and mix together very well. Completely cover and coat 8 fish or chicken fillets with the batter. Deep fry until golden brown.

Tips:

  • To make the perfect batter, use a combination of all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and pepper. The cornstarch helps to create a crispy coating, while the baking powder helps to make the batter light and fluffy.
  • Use buttermilk instead of milk in the batter. Buttermilk helps to tenderize the fish or chicken and gives the batter a slightly tangy flavor.
  • Be sure to coat the fish or chicken evenly in the batter. This will help to ensure that it cooks evenly throughout.
  • Fry the fish or chicken in hot oil until it is golden brown and crispy. The oil should be between 350 and 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Serve the fish or chicken with your favorite dipping sauce, such as tartar sauce, cocktail sauce, or ketchup.

Conclusion:

Long John Silver's Batter Fish or Chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its crispy coating and tender, juicy meat, this dish is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering. So what are you waiting for? Give this recipe a try today!
