I found this recipe in a magazine recently, and just cannot keep it to myself! Tastes like the take away fish we used to get when I was little 
Check that you’ve got…
- 4 skinless firm white fish fillets (fish doesn’t have to be defrosted, frozen fish will work just as well)
- 2l vegetable oil
- 100g plain flour + 1/2 cup extra
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder (2.5ml)
- 200ml beer
- 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
How to…
- Sieve 100g flour together with baking powder into a bowl and add a little salt or spice (I made it just with plain salt)
- Add beer & vinegar gradually and mix in with a whisk while pouring to avoid lumps from forming
- Keep extra flour in a shallow bowl close by
- Pour oil into a frying pan (oil should be approximately 5cm deep)
- Heat oil until a bread cube turns golden in 60 seconds (bread should sizzle immediately when dropped in the oil)
- Take frozen fish and hold under the warm tap water for a few seconds, dip into dry flour – repeat until all the fish fillets are covered with flour (Its very important that the fish is completely covered in dry flour. This will ensure that the batter sticks to the fish and doesn’t fall off during frying)
- When oil is ready, take flour covered fish, dip in batter and ensure that fish is well covered, then carefully place in hot oil with metal cooking tongs (plastic ones will most probably melt )
- Cook fish for 8 – 10 minutes, depending on size and thickness. Test by removing one fish fillet, and sticking a fork in the fish – if watery juice still comes out & fish looks pink, its not thoroughly cooked. Fish will display white if cooked.
And that’s it! I have found that this recipe goes particularly well with oven baked chips, so that I can focus all my attention on the fish, and leave the chips to cook on their own
Hope you like it as much as I do!! If you do, feel free to print or download!
