Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 quart of canola oil
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour divided
1 1/4 cups beer
1 teaspoon Black pepper
1/4 teaspoon Sea salt
1 teaspoon paprika
2 large fillets Regal Springs Tilapia
I large bag frozen french fries

Steps:

  • Pour the canola oil into a deep pan or pot and place over a medium heat. The oil should be about 2 inches deep.
  • In a bowl add 1 cup of the flour, beer, salt, pepper and paprika.
  • Whisk until smooth.
  • Cut the tilapia into strips and pat dry.
  • Place the remaining flour onto a shallow plate.
  • Bake the french fries as per the directions on the package.
  • Once the oil has reached 375 degrees F, start to fry the fish.
  • Roll each piece into the flour and shake off the excess.
  • Next dip the fish into the batter and let the excess drip back into the bowl.
  • Gently place the fish into the hot oil and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown.
  • Take the fish from the oil and place on some paper towel to drain.
  • You will have to do this in several stages so it's a good idea to place the cooked fish on a baking sheet to keep warm in the oven while you continue with the remaining tilapia.
  • Serve with the fries, seasoned with extra salt and pepper and ketchup on the side if desired.

CRISPY BEER BATTERED TILAPIA



Crispy Beer Battered Tilapia image

After checking many recipes online I wanted to mix my mom's secret ingredient in fish batter. Curry. So I came up with this which was inspired by http://www.food.com/recipe/beer-battered-fish-130102 I loved this recipe. Hope you enjoy it.

Provided by Newbie.Cook

Categories     Weeknight

Time 15m

Yield 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb tilapia fillet (sliced into 1/2 inch)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 large egg (I used half the yolk)
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon curry
1 teaspoon salt
6 ounces beer
1/2 cup sunflower oil or 1/2 cup vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Mix all the dry ingredients together.
  • Whisk the egg and add to dry ingredients.
  • Add beer gradually while mixing till the batter gets liquid enough.
  • Dip the tilapia fillets in the batter and let it rest for a minute.
  • In a pan add the oil and put on medium heat.
  • Add the tilapia to the pan and fry till each side is golden brown.
  • After they're done remove and put on paper towel and let it cool for few minutes before serving.
  • You can serve this with boiled rice and/or my Minty Cucumber Salad.

Tips

  • Use the freshest tilapia fillets you can find. Freshness will produce the best flavor and texture.
  • Soak the tilapia fillets in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes before breading and frying. This will help to tenderize the fish and give it a more flavorful crust.
  • Use a light beer for the batter. A heavy beer will make the batter too thick and dense.
  • Make sure the batter is cold before frying the fish. This will help to create a crispy crust.
  • Fry the fish in hot oil. The oil should be at least 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the fish. This will cause the oil temperature to drop and the fish will not cook evenly.
  • Cook the fish until it is golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature of the fish should be at least 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Serve the fish immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion

Crispy beer-battered tilapia is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The fish is tender and flaky on the inside and crispy on the outside. The beer batter adds a light and airy flavor that complements the fish perfectly. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce for a complete meal.
