Best 7 Beer Battered Fish With Dipping Sauce Recipes

BEER-BATTERED FISH

Steps:

• In a wide 6-quart pot fitted with a deep-fat thermometer, heat oil to 350 degrees over medium-high. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and baking powder. Slowly add beer and whisk batter until smooth. Line a baking sheet with paper towels and place near stove.
• Pat fish dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt. In two batches, dip fish into batter (gently shaking off excess) and place in oil. Fry fish, turning occasionally, until deep golden brown and crisp, about 7 minutes per batch (adjust heat as necessary to maintain 350 degrees throughout frying).
• With a slotted spoon or mesh strainer, transfer fish to prepared sheet to drain. Keep warm while cooking second batch. Serve with lemon wedges and tartar sauce.

BEER-BATTERED FISH WITH TARTAR SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine all the tartar sauce ingredients in a bowl with a pinch each of salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Heat the oven to 200°. Cover a cookie sheet with paper towels and top with a wire rack.
• Heat about 3" of oil to approximately 365° in a medium sized pot.
• Meanwhile, mix flour with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Whisk in egg. Slowly add the beer while whisking.
• Dip fish pieces in the batter and place on plate or the wire rack you will be using to drain the fried fish. I usually double dip in the batter if I have some left over once the batter dries on the awaiting fish.
• Place fish pieces, two at a time in the oil. Cook until the fish is done and the crust is lightly golden, about 4 minutes for 3/4-inch thick fillets.
• Remove fish with tongs and put on rack to drain. Sprinkle salt over the hot fish and put the baking sheet in the oven.
• Repeat in batches with the remaining fish.
• Serve with the tartar sauce.

BEER BATTERED FISH WITH DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• Whisk flours, five spice, egg and beer in a bowl until smooth (I use a bar mix).
• Heat oil in deep fry pan or wok. Dip fish in batter, deep-fry fish, in batches, until crisp and cooked through. Serve with lemon mayonnaise, and lemon wedges if desired.
• Lemon Mayonnaise.
• Combine mayonnaise, rind, juice and pepper in a bowl, cover and refrigerate until needed.
• Cocktail Sauce.

BEER BATTERED SHRIMP WITH CHIPOTLE DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oil to 365 degrees.
• In a small bowl, whisk together all the dipping sauce ingredients. Transfer to a serving bowl, cover and set aside.

Gently toss shrimp in the batter, to coat. Shake gently to remove excess batter and with slotted spoon, carefully fry in hot oil for 5 to 6 minutes or until golden brown. Cook in batches to avoid over crowding. Remove shrimp with a spider or slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain. Serve hot with dipping sauce.
