Best 3 Tilapia Fish And Chips Recipes

BEER BATTERED TILAPIA FISH AND CHIPS

Steps:

• Pour the canola oil into a deep pan or pot and place over a medium heat. The oil should be about 2 inches deep.
• In a bowl add 1 cup of the flour, beer, salt, pepper and paprika.
• Whisk until smooth.
• Cut the tilapia into strips and pat dry.
• Place the remaining flour onto a shallow plate.
• Bake the french fries as per the directions on the package.
• Once the oil has reached 375 degrees F, start to fry the fish.
• Roll each piece into the flour and shake off the excess.
• Next dip the fish into the batter and let the excess drip back into the bowl.
• Gently place the fish into the hot oil and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown.
• Take the fish from the oil and place on some paper towel to drain.
• You will have to do this in several stages so it's a good idea to place the cooked fish on a baking sheet to keep warm in the oven while you continue with the remaining tilapia.
• Serve with the fries, seasoned with extra salt and pepper and ketchup on the side if desired.

BAKED FISH AND CHIPS

Steps:

• Make the horseradish tartar sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together all of the ingredients. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Prepare the fish and chips: Arrange 2 oven racks in the top and bottom third of the oven. Place a large rimmed baking sheet on the lower rack and heat oven to 500 degrees.
• In a large skillet over medium heat, warm 2 tablespoons oil. Stir in panko, thyme, garlic and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until crumbs are evenly dark golden brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer immediately to a bowl.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together mustard and eggs. Place flour in a third bowl.
• Grease an oven-safe wire rack with oil and place it over another rimmed baking sheet. Season fish with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Dredge each piece of fish in the flour, then mustard mixture, then panko mixture, making sure it is well coated with each one before moving to the next. Transfer fish to the wire rack. (You can bread the fish up to 4 hours ahead; store in the refrigerator, uncovered, either on the rack or just on a plate.)
• In a large bowl, toss together potatoes, the remaining 4 tablespoons oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Carefully spread potatoes out on the preheated baking sheet and return to oven's lower rack. Roast until slightly golden and crispy, tossing after 15 minutes.
• Reduce oven temperature to 425 degrees and transfer the second pan, with the fish still on the wire rack, to oven's top rack. Bake until fish is flaky and golden and potatoes are well browned and tender, about 10 to 15 minutes more.
• Salt fish and potatoes immediately after removing from oven. Serve hot, with tartar sauce alongside for dipping.

• In a medium size saucepan or a frying pan, heat oil to 350°F.
• Dredge fish pieces in the flour mixture.
• Drop the floured fish pieces into the batter to coat, then lift out with tongs and let the excess batter drip off.
• Drop the battered fish into the hot oil and cook for about 1 minute, turn over and cook for an additional 1 minute or until light golden brown.
• Do not overcook.
• Remove from oil onto paper towels to absorb any excess cooking oil.
