Beer Battered Fish

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Batter

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually add the beer and mix until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

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

  3. 3

    Batter the Fish

    Dip each fish fillet into the batter, ensuring it is well coated.

  4. 4

    Fry the Fish

    Carefully place the battered fish into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Fries

    In the same oil, fry pre-cut fries according to package instructions or until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels and season with salt.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the beer-battered fish with fries, homemade or store-bought coleslaw, and a side of tartar sauce.
