Yield 3# fish chunks 4-6 people

Number Of Ingredients 15

For lemon dipping sauce
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon finely grated fresh lemon zest
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
For asparagus
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon finely grated fresh lemon zest
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup lager such as Harp (pour beer slowly into measuring cup; do not measure foam)
About 4 cups vegetable oil
1 lb medium asparagus, trimmed and cut into 3-inch pieces
Special Equipment
a deep-fat thermometer

Steps:

  • Make dipping sauce:
  • Stir together mayonnaise, lemon juice, zest, and pepper in a small bowl. Chill, covered, until ready to use.
  • Make batter and fry asparagus:
  • Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 200°F.
  • Whisk together flour, salt, zest, and pepper in a bowl until combined, then add beer, whisking until smooth.
  • Heat 3 inches oil in a 3- to 4-quart heavy saucepan over moderately high heat until it registers 375°F on thermometer.
  • Submerge asparagus spears in batter to coat. Working in batches of 10, drag 1 at a time gently against rim to remove excess batter, then transfer to oil and fry, stirring gently to keep asparagus from sticking together, until golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer as fried with a slotted spoon to a paper-towel-lined baking sheet and keep warm in oven. Return oil to 375°F between batches. Serve with lemon dipping sauce.

This recipe is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids love the crispy asparagus, and they don't even realize they're eating something healthy.

I'm not a big fan of fried food, but this recipe changed my mind. The asparagus was crispy and flavorful, but it wasn't greasy at all.

I've tried several different recipes for beer-battered asparagus, and this one is by far the best. The batter is light and fluffy, and the asparagus is always cooked perfectly.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my asparagus didn't turn out crispy at all. Maybe I didn't fry it long enough.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I think I'll add some garlic and chili powder next time.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover asparagus. I always have a bunch of asparagus in my fridge, and this is a delicious way to use it up.

I found that the asparagus cooked more evenly if I used a deeper fryer instead of a skillet.

The asparagus was a little too oily for my taste. I think I'll try using less oil next time.

I love that this recipe uses beer batter instead of traditional bread crumbs. It gives the asparagus a unique flavor and texture.
