Fish Fry Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Breading

    In a bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually whisk in the beer until smooth. Let the batter rest for 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Fish

    Pat the haddock fillets dry with paper towels. If making Cajun broiled fish, rub the fillets with Cajun seasoning and set aside.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

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

  4. 4

    Fry the Fish

    Dip each haddock fillet into the batter, allowing the excess to drip off. Carefully place the fillets into 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.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Slaw

    In a large bowl, mix the coleslaw mix with mayonnaise until well combined. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

  6. 6

    Cook the Mac Salad

    Cook the macaroni pasta according to package instructions. Drain and rinse under cold water. In a bowl, mix the cooked pasta with cheddar cheese and additional mayonnaise, salt, and pepper to taste.

  7. 7

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Cook the chosen potatoes (French fries or mashed) according to your preference.

  8. 8

    Serve

    Serve the fried haddock alongside coleslaw, macaroni salad, and your choice of potatoes.
