Beer-Battered Pollock

Malt Vinegar Aioli

Pickles

Method

Beer-Battered Pollock

  1. 1

    Prepare the Batter

    In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually whisk in the beer until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

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

  3. 3

    Batter and Fry the Pollock

    Dip each pollock fillet into the batter, allowing excess to drip off. Carefully place the battered fillets into the hot oil. Fry for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Malt Vinegar Aioli

  1. 4

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, malt vinegar, minced garlic, and Dijon mustard. Mix well until smooth.

  2. 5

    Season

    Add salt and black pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning as desired and set aside.

Fries

  1. 6

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into sticks or wedges, about 1/4 inch thick.

  2. 7

    Fry the Potatoes

    In a separate pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry the potato sticks in batches for 4-5 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels, then season with salt to taste.
