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 -- .

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my fish turned out soggy. I'm going to try it again and see if I can get it right this time.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover fish. I made it with some cod that I had in the freezer, and it turned out great!

I thought the batter was a bit bland. I added some garlic powder and onion powder to it, and it was much better.

This recipe is a keeper! I've made it several times now, and it always turns out great. The fish is always crispy and flaky, and the batter is flavorful without being too heavy.

OMG! This recipe is a game-changer! The fish came out so crispy on the outside and flaky on the inside. My family loved it, and I'm definitely making it again soon!
