The tattered recipe in my files is a good indication of how popular these doughnuts have been in our family over the years. They disappear in a hurry, so I typically double the recipe.

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!

Tips:

  • Make sure to chill the biscuit dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help the biscuits to be flaky and tender.
  • When rolling out the biscuit dough, be sure to roll it out evenly to a thickness of about 1/2 inch.
  • Cut the biscuits out using a 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter. If you don't have a biscuit cutter, you can use a glass or a cup.
  • Place the biscuits on a greased baking sheet and bake them in a preheated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
  • Serve the biscuits warm with your favorite sides, such as fried chicken, mashed potatoes, or gravy.

Conclusion:

These Long John Silver's Copycat Biscuits are the perfect addition to any meal. They are flaky, tender, and have a delicious buttery flavor. They are also very easy to make, so you can enjoy them anytime you want. So next time you are craving some delicious biscuits, be sure to give this recipe a try.
