Time 25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup self-rising flour
2 tablespoons rice flour
¼ teaspoon baking powder
4 (6 ounce) cod fillets, fully thawed if frozen
2 tablespoons rice flour, or as needed
salt to taste
1 cup lager-style beer, or more as needed
vegetable oil for frying

Steps:

  • Whisk self-rising flour, rice flour, and baking powder together in a bowl. Freeze until ready to use.
  • Pat fish as dry as possible. Cut pieces lengthwise to get eight 1-inch thick strips. Place rice flour on a plate and season with salt. Dust fish lightly with the mixture and shake off excess. Cover a plate with crinkled foil to make a quick drying rack; place fish on top.
  • Heat oil in a deep-fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Pour beer into the flour mixture and whisk, adding more as needed, until batter is the consistency of thick pancake batter. Dip fish pieces into the batter to coat; lift out and let excess drip off.
  • Fry fish in batches until golden brown, dunking occasionally if needed, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Serve immediately.

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

3 quarts canola oil
2 russet potatoes, scrubbed
8 cod fillets (3 to 4 ounces each)
Kosher salt
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more as needed
3 teaspoons turmeric
2 teaspoons baking soda
One 12-ounce can beer, preferably IPA
2 large egg whites, whipped to medium peaks
Tartar Sauce, recipe follows
Lemon wedges, for serving
1 cup mayonnaise, preferably Hellman's
1/4 cup minced dill pickles
2 tablespoons capers
2 spicy banana peppers, minced
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
1/2 bunch fresh dill, minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oil in a large pot to 300 degrees F. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a tray with paper towels.
  • Cut the potatoes into large wedges, about 10 per potato. Fry the potatoes for around 4 minutes. (They will be soggy.) Remove them to the lined tray and pat them dry. Turn the oil to 375 degrees F.
  • Meanwhile, sprinkle the fish all over with salt. Combine 1/2 cup flour and 1 teaspoon turmeric on a plate, then season with salt. Dredge the fish in the flour mixture and let sit on the plate. Mix the baking soda with the remaining 2 cups flour and 2 teaspoons turmeric in a second bowl. Season well with salt. Slowly whisk in the beer until the batter has a pancake-batter consistency (you might not use it all). Fold in the egg whites. Adjust with more or less flour or beer as needed.
  • Line a sheet tray with a wire rack. Fry the potatoes at 375 degrees F until crispy, about 4 minutes. Transfer to the rack and season with salt immediately. Hold the chips in the oven while you fry the fish.
  • Lower the fry oil to 250 degrees F and line a plate with paper towels. Pat the excess flour from the fish, then coat in the batter. Gently lower the fish into the oil and fry until golden brown and the fish is cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer the fish to the lined plate and season with salt. Serve with Tartar Sauce, chips and lemon wedges.
  • Combine the mayonnaise, pickles, capers, peppers, lemon zest, lemon juice and dill in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper and mix until combined.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use a light and fluffy batter. A heavy batter will weigh down the fish and make it greasy.
  • Make sure the batter is cold before you fry the fish. This will help the batter set quickly and prevent it from absorbing too much oil.
  • Fry the fish in hot oil. This will help the fish cook evenly and prevent it from sticking to the pan.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the fish. This will cause the fish to steam instead of fry.
  • Cook the fish until it is golden brown and flaky. This will ensure that the fish is cooked through.
  • Serve the fish immediately with your favorite tartar sauce or malt vinegar.
