THE BEST BEER BATTERED FISH



The Best Beer Battered Fish image

Beer batter can be contentious. When done right, it is light, airy, and crunchy-perfectly complimenting the fillet within. When done poorly, it can be heavy, doughy, and overpowering. Beer battered fish takes more attention to detail than other method of frying, so it's best to work in small batches...

Yield 3-4

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb. fish fillets
Salt and pepper
1¼ cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking powder
½ tsp. salt
12 oz. beer
1 tbsp. honey

Steps:

  • Season the fish with salt and pepper.
  • Mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl with a whisk.
  • Dredge the fillets well in the flour mix, shaking off any excess. Refrigerate fillets until ready to fry.
  • When the oil is hot, add the beer and honey to the flour mixture and stir well. A couple of lumps are preferable, so don't overwork it. Add a couple ice cubes to the batter.
  • Dip a couple of fillets into the batter, coating them completely. Allow any excess batter to drain off.
  • Gently place them into the 375°F oil and fry for 30 seconds.
  • Flip the fillet, exposing the more-cooked bottom. Drizzle a little bit of batter on top. Flip the fillet back over and drizzle a little batter on top again. Don't overdo it, but just add a thin layer of additional batter.
  • Fry the fish until deep golden brown, about 2 minutes total for fish that's an inch thick. Serve immediately.

A local restaurant made a similar breading for shrimp po' boys, but we think this version's better. I serve the beer battered fish with a ranch dressing and hot sauce mixture as a dip. -Jenny Wenzel, Gulfport, Mississippi
