Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 potatoes
corn or peanut oil
1 lb cod or 1 lb other lean fish fillet
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon vinegar
2/3 cup water

Steps:

  • Cut potatoes lengthwise into ½-inch strips.
  • Heat oil (2 to 3 inches or enough to cover) in deep fryer or Dutch oven to 375 degrees.
  • Fill basket one-fourth full with potatoes. (I don't have a basket - I use a Fry Daddy and it works fine. Just be sure and put the chips in one at a time so they don't stick to each
  • other.) Skip the next step if you're not using a basket.
  • Slowly lower basket into hot oil. (If oil bubbles excessively, raise and lower basket several times.) Use a long-handled fork to keep potatoes separated.
  • Fry potatoes 5 to 7 minutes or until golden brown; drain on paper towels.
  • Place potatoes in single layer on cookie sheet and keep warm.
  • Repeat with remaining potatoes.
  • Cut fish filets into 2 x 1/-1/2-inch pieces. Pat dry with paper towels.
  • Mix flour and salt.
  • Mix baking soda and vinegar.
  • Stir vinegar mixture and water into flour mixture; beat until smooth.
  • Dip fish into batter, allowing excess batter to drip into bowl.
  • Fry 4 or 5 fish pieces at a time (do not use basket) about 3 minutes, turning fish once, until brown. Drain on paper towels.
  • Set oven control to broil. Broil potatoes 6 inches from heat 2 to 3 minutes or until crisp.

BATTERED FISH - LIKE THE FISH & CHIP SHOP!



Battered Fish - Like the Fish & Chip Shop! image

My family loves fish & chips from the 'chippie'.....but recently it has become far too expensive & we have been dissapointed a few times by the quality of the food. So, here we have the recipe I came up with to satisfy the family when they fancy fish 'n' chips. You can use any white fish fillet you prefer. I like to cut mine into 5" strips so they cook quicker & fit a bit better in my small fryer! If you have any batter left over, it makes great onion rings too......

Time 10m

Yield 3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 medium fish fillets
4 1/2 ounces self raising flour
6 fluid ounces skim milk
1 egg
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon cajun seasoning
oil (for frying, I like sunflower oil for this)
plain flour, for dusting

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C.
  • In a 10" x 3" plastic tub, place the flour, egg, salt, seasoning, milk & melted butter. Blend really well using an immersion blender - or liquidize & pour into the tub. (The tub just makes it easier to apply the batter to the fish.).
  • Rinse your fillets & cut into 5" pieces. Dust each piece with a little flour.
  • Heat your fryer to approximately 180 - 190°C.
  • Dip the fillerts one by one in the batter & coat both sides evenly.
  • When the oil has reached the correct temp, gently lay one fillet at a time onto the top of the oil.
  • Cook until golden brown on both sides - takes me about 4-5 mins, then remove & place on a tray with a wire rack (I use the grill pan) in the oven to stay crisp & hot.
  • Repeat with the remaining fish.
  • Serve with chunky chips, peas (mushy is best!) & lots of salt & vinegar -- .
