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 -- .
