BEER BATTER
12 oz unbleached all-purpose flour
1 bottle (12 fl. oz.) beer of your choice
1/2 tsp malt vinegar
1 tsp hot paprika
SEASONED FLOUR
1 c unbleached all-purpose flour
1 tsp old bay seasoning
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper (i always use mixed peppercorns)
4 oz fish fillets, such as pollock, haddock, halibut, cod
canola oil or vegetable oil, for frying

Steps:

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour and beer before adding malt vinegar and paprika. Whisk until all the ingredients are very well blended. Cover with a tea towel and let it sit for 30 minutes. Start the deep fryer so it has time to reach 375ºF.
2. In a large shallow plate, combine flour, Old Bay seasoning and black pepper. Stir until well combined. When batter has been resting for ½ hour, dredge each fillet in the seasoned flour and shake off excess; place on a plate while doing others.
3. Dip fillets in the batter until well coated and lift it up so the excess batter runs off. Drop one fillet at a time in the hot oil, gently moving back and forth before letting go
4. DON'T overcrowd the fryer. Cook each for 6-7 minutes or until golden brown. Using thongs take fillet out of the oil and hold it a few seconds to let oil drip off. Place fillet on a plate lined with a rack and transfer into a 200ºF preheated oven to keep them warm while frying the remaining. Serve with fries, tartar sauce and a lemon wedge; sprinkle fried fish with malt vinegar

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 pound of cod fillets cut into 2 inch strips
1 cup flat beer, maybe a tad more to thin the batter if it is too thick
1/2 teaspoon (each) of salt and pepper
1 cup all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
enough canola for frying. i use an electric skillet.
malt vinegar to shake on fish
MY TARTAR SAUCE RECIPE
1 cup of mayo, best foods
2 tablespoons fresh minced onions
1/4 cup fresh minced parsley
1 dill pickle minced
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons malt vinegar
salt and white pepper if desired
mix it all together and chill 1 hour.

Steps:

1. Heat the electric skillet or deep fryer to 375 degrees. Use canola oil for frying.
2. Before you begin, make sure the fish is dry. This will make the batter stick to the fish. You can use any white firm fish, but cod is better.
3. In a pie plate, combine flour, baking soda, salt and pepper. Whisk until mixed, then add the beer and mix until smooth. You may need to add a little more beer to thin the batter.
4. Drop the coated fish in the hot oil. Fry about 6 to 8 minutes a side until golden brown and crispy, and then turn and cook the other side. Don't over cook. Drain fish on paper towels.
5. Serve with the homemade tartar sauce recipe above. Sprinkle the fish with malt vinegar. Pass the bottle at the table.
6. This is what it looks like! Enjoy!
7. Cook's tip: This is excellent served with my oven fries posted on this site. You can make either fries or the wedges/chips. They are also low in calories and fat with only 1 tablespoon of olive oil!" https://www.justapinch.com/recipe/utahn/best-oven-baked-fries/potatoes?k=oven+fries+bonnie&p=1&o=r
