CRISPY BEER BATTER FISH & CHIPS



Crispy Beer Batter Fish & Chips image

Virtually every beer-battered fish recipe looks crispy coming out of the fryer, and some even stay crispy for a few minutes, but then the inevitable sogginess sets in. Well, with this simple formula, and a few easy tricks, you can achieve a fried fish where the last bite is as crisp as the first. The keys are keeping your batter really cold and patting your fish really dry. Serve over a bed of salt 'n vinegar chips with tartar sauce and lemon.

Time 25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup self-rising flour
2 tablespoons rice flour
ΒΌ teaspoon baking powder
4 (6 ounce) cod fillets, fully thawed if frozen
2 tablespoons rice flour, or as needed
salt to taste
1 cup lager-style beer, or more as needed
vegetable oil for frying

Steps:

  • Whisk self-rising flour, rice flour, and baking powder together in a bowl. Freeze until ready to use.
  • Pat fish as dry as possible. Cut pieces lengthwise to get eight 1-inch thick strips. Place rice flour on a plate and season with salt. Dust fish lightly with the mixture and shake off excess. Cover a plate with crinkled foil to make a quick drying rack; place fish on top.
  • Heat oil in a deep-fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Pour beer into the flour mixture and whisk, adding more as needed, until batter is the consistency of thick pancake batter. Dip fish pieces into the batter to coat; lift out and let excess drip off.
  • Fry fish in batches until golden brown, dunking occasionally if needed, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Serve immediately.

Provided by Trisha Yearwood

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

3/4 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup finely chopped multicolored baby bell peppers
2 tablespoons chopped cornichon
2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley
1 teaspoon lemon zest plus 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Hot sauce, as desired
Vegetable oil, for frying
1 pound skinless flounder fillets
3/4 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for dredging
1/4 cup rice flour
1 tablespoon seafood seasoning, such as Old Bay
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup club soda
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the sweet pepper mayo: Combine the mayonnaise, peppers, cornichon, parsley and lemon zest and juice in a medium bowl and stir to combine. Season with hot sauce to taste. Refrigerate while you make the flounder.
  • For the flounder: Heat 2 inches of vegetable oil in a medium Dutch oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Cut the flounder crosswise into pieces about as thick as 2 fingers. Whisk together the all-purpose flour, rice flour, seafood seasoning and baking powder in a large bowl (no need for salt as the Old Bay has salt in it). Whisk in the club soda to make a smooth batter slightly thinner than pancake batter.
  • Spread flour for dredging on a plate and season with salt and pepper. Dredge half of the flounder in the flour, then dip in the batter and add to the hot oil. Fry until golden and very crisp, turning occasionally, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
  • Return the oil to 375 degrees F and immediately dredge, batter and fry the second batch. Serve right away with the sweet pepper mayo.
