Description

Light and crispy fish fillets, beer batter, and golden fries. A fun, flavorful weeknight dinner.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 7 oz (200 g) Plain (all-purpose) flour
  • Canola oil
  • 2 tsp Baking powder
  • a pinch Salt
  • 225 ml (1 cup) Beer
  • 2 Whiting Tails, about 7 oz (200 g) each

Instructions

  1. Chill flour in the freezer for 15 minutes.
  2. Heat oil in a deep-fryer to 185°C (365°F).
  3. Quickly whisk baking powder, chilled flour, salt, and sparkling water until you get a thick batter.
  4. Coat fish fillets with batter and deep-fry one at a time until crisp and golden. Ensure the temperature stays at 185°C (365°F) between fillets.
  5. Drain fish fillets on a wire rack.
  6. Serve with garlic fries

Notes

  • For extra crispy fries, soak cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before frying to remove excess starch.
  • If you don’t have a deep fryer, use a heavy-bottomed pot with at least 3 inches of oil for even cooking.
  • Leftover fish and chips can be stored separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a 375°F (190°C) oven for best results.
