Fresh Cut Fries

Method

Battered Halibut

  1. 1

    Prepare the Batter

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Gradually whisk in the cold water until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

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

  3. 3

    Fry the Halibut

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

Battered Black Tiger Shrimp
