Batter

Method

Preparation of the Batter

  1. 1

    Mix the Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

  2. 2

    Add Wet Ingredients

    Pour the beer into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. It’s okay if the batter is a little lumpy. Then, add the egg and mix again until incorporated.

Preparation of the Fish

  1. 3

    Prepare the Fish Fillets

    Pat the fish fillets dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

Frying

  1. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large, deep skillet or a deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  2. 5

    Batter the Fish

    Dip each seasoned fish fillet into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off before placing it in the hot oil.

  3. 6

    Fry the Fish

    Fry the fish in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 4-6 minutes or until the batter is golden brown and the fish is cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to remove the fish and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Serving

  1. 7

    Plate and Serve

    Serve the beer battered fish hot with your choice of dipping sauce, lemon wedges, or tartar sauce.
