- Title: FRIED FISH WITH BEER BATTER
- Categories: Fish
- Yield: 4 servings
-
- 2 lb White fish fillets
- Oil for deep frying
- 1 Egg
- 1 c Lager beer
- 2 tb Vegetable oil
- 1 1/4 c Flour
- 1 ts Black pepper
- 1 ts Salt
- 1/2 ts Cayenne pepper
-
-
- Put oil in dutch oven or other deep pot to a depth of at least 3".
- Set over medium-high flame. Cut fillets into pieces about 2"x4". In a
- bowl, mix egg, beer and 2 TBL oil together. Stir in flour and spices.
- Mix until batter is smooth; it should be a little runny. When oil is
- hot (350-360F degrees), dip fish into batter with tongs or fingers,
- allowing excess batter to drip back into the bowl. Gently place fish
- in the oil and cook until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Do not
- crowd fish; cook in batches. Drain on paper towels and serve
- immediately. HINTS Use dark beer for stronger flavor. Don't skimp on
- oil, and use a large pot, not a skillet. Use a skimmer between
- batches to remove burned bits of batter. Pat fish dry before dipping
- into the batter.
