Beer Battered Halibut image

Because of where we live a good fish fry is a hour away. Looked on the net for a good recipe as there was some halibut in the freezer calling my name. Michael Smith - Chef at Home - had an interesting looking and sounding recipe. Am I ever glad that I gave this a try. No more fish fry traveling for this girl. Very crispy and does not turn soggy after sitting.

Time 25m

Yield 4 pieces, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 halibut fillets (8 oz. each )
1 cup flour
1/2 cup cornstarch
1 teaspoon baking powder
12 ounces dark beer
1 dash salt and pepper
flour (for dredging)

Steps:

  • Pat halibut filets dry and dredge in extra flour. Mix together flour, cornstarch, baking powder and dash of each salt and pepper. Add enough of the beer to make a pancake-like batter. ( Not too runny but thick enough to coat fish). Do not over stir as batter will become tough.
  • Coat fish in batter and let extra drip off back into bowl.
  • Oil should be preheated at 365.
  • Place carefully in hot oil and cook for 8 - 10 minutes until golden in colour and fish is cooked.
