THE BEST BEER BATTERED FISH



The Best Beer Battered Fish image

Beer batter can be contentious. When done right, it is light, airy, and crunchy-perfectly complimenting the fillet within. When done poorly, it can be heavy, doughy, and overpowering. Beer battered fish takes more attention to detail than other method of frying, so it's best to work in small batches...

Yield 3-4

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb. fish fillets
Salt and pepper
1¼ cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking powder
½ tsp. salt
12 oz. beer
1 tbsp. honey

Steps:

  • Season the fish with salt and pepper.
  • Mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl with a whisk.
  • Dredge the fillets well in the flour mix, shaking off any excess. Refrigerate fillets until ready to fry.
  • When the oil is hot, add the beer and honey to the flour mixture and stir well. A couple of lumps are preferable, so don't overwork it. Add a couple ice cubes to the batter.
  • Dip a couple of fillets into the batter, coating them completely. Allow any excess batter to drain off.
  • Gently place them into the 375°F oil and fry for 30 seconds.
  • Flip the fillet, exposing the more-cooked bottom. Drizzle a little bit of batter on top. Flip the fillet back over and drizzle a little batter on top again. Don't overdo it, but just add a thin layer of additional batter.
  • Fry the fish until deep golden brown, about 2 minutes total for fish that's an inch thick. Serve immediately.

  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the batter tough.
  • Use a large skillet or Dutch oven for frying the fish. This will help prevent the fish from sticking to the pan.
  • Heat the oil to 350 degrees Fahrenheit before frying the fish. This will help the fish cook evenly.
  • Fry the fish in batches. Don't overcrowd the pan, or the fish will not cook evenly.
  • Cook the fish until it is golden brown and flaky. This will take about 3-4 minutes per side.
  • Serve the fish hot with your favorite sides, such as tartar sauce, lemon wedges, or coleslaw.
