Fried Fish

Method

Fried Fish

  1. 1

    Prepare the Batter

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep frying pan or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a deep-fry thermometer to check the temperature.

  3. 3

    Coat the Fish

    Pat the haddock fillets dry with paper towels. Dip each fillet into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated.

  4. 4

    Fry the Fish

    Carefully place the battered haddock fillets into the hot oil, cooking in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.

  5. 5

    Drain the Fish

    Using a slotted spoon, remove the fish from the oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Roasted Red Pepper Tartar Sauce

  1. 6

    Combine Ingredients

    In a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise, chopped roasted red peppers, capers, lemon juice, and fresh parsley.

  2. 7

    Season the Sauce

    Add salt and black pepper to the mixture. Stir well to combine all ingredients thoroughly.

  3. 8

    Chill

    Cover the tartar sauce and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
