Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Batter

    In a 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. Let it rest for about 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

    In a large heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

  3. 3

    Batter the Haddock

    Dip each haddock fillet into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated.

  4. 4

    Fry the Fish

    Carefully place the battered haddock fillets into the hot oil, frying in batches if necessary. Fry for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Toast the brioche buns lightly. On each bun, layer lettuce, a fried haddock fillet, slices of tomato, and red onion. Drizzle with tartar sauce and top with the other half of the bun.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the Mad Haddock sandwiches immediately with your favorite sides.
