Fish Bites

Method

Preparing Fish Bites

  1. 1

    Cut the Fish

    Cut the fresh fish fillets into bite-sized pieces, about 2 inches in size.

  2. 2

    Make the Batter

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually whisk in the beer until the batter is smooth and well combined.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches about 180°C (350°F).

  4. 4

    Fry the Fish Bites

    Dip each piece of fish into the batter, allowing excess to drip off. Carefully place it in the hot oil. Fry in batches for 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through, turning occasionally. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Making the Ginger-Soy Dipping Sauce

  1. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic, honey, and sesame oil until well mixed.

  2. 6

    Garnish

    Sprinkle the chopped green onions over the sauce for added flavor and presentation.
