Beer Battered Fish and Chips

Beer Battered Fish and Chips

You will be surprised how Beer Battered Fish is easy to make. When I made it the batter was nice and light and crispy and the fish was so moist and tender and so good!

I used cod for the fish but you could use pretty much any white fish such as haddock or halibut, etc. For the beer I went with Guinness which gave the batter a nice dark color.

To complete the Beer Battered Fish, I Served the fish with chips, coleslaw, tartar sauce, lemon.

Ingredients:
1 bottle beer
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 large egg (lightly beaten)
1 pound cod fillets (or halibut, or haddock, etc., cut into serving sized pieces)
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup flour
oil for frying

Directions:
1. Mix the beer, flour, baking powder, salt and egg into a batter in a bowl.
2. Season the fish with salt and pepper.
3. Dredge the fish in the flour and shake off any excess.
4. Dip the fish into the batter.
5. Fry the fish in preheated 375F oil until cooked, about 4-5 minutes.


Chips (French Fries)

Ingredients:
4 potatoes (such as russet)
oil for frying
salt

Directions:
1. Cut the potatoes into the desired shape.
2. Heat the oil to 325.
3. Add the fries and fry until pale and floppy, about 2-3 minutes, and remove.
4. Heat the oil to 375.
5. Add the fries and fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes and remove.
6. Season with salt to taste
