Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
For the fish:
- 4 (6 oz) pieces of boneless, skinless white fish (cod, haddock, etc...)
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 Tbsp cornstarch
For the batter:
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1 1/2 Tbsp baking powder
- 3 Tbsp cornstarch
- 1 - 1 1/4 cups lager-style beer
- 8 cups canola oil for frying
Instructions
- Cut each piece of fish in half lengthwise, creating long finger like pieces. Season with salt and dredge in cornstarch. Keep chilled in the fridge while you heat the oil and prepare the batter.
- Add the oil to a large Dutch oven and place over medium-high heat. Using a thermometer, bring the temperature of the oil up to 375°F (190°C).
- Mix all the ingredients for the batter together until you have a thick, pancake like batter.
- Line a baking sheet with paper towels.
- Remove the fish from the fridge and dredge a couple fingers in the batter and carefully lower them into the hot oil. Cook for 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally until the batter is golden brown. Remove the cooked fish to a paper towel lined baking sheet and season lightly with salt.
- Serve immediately with your favourite tartar sauce and coleslaw.
Notes
Change up the flavour of your fish by seasoning it with different herbs and spices before you batter it. Chili powder, Italian seasoning or lemon-pepper, sprinkled on the fish before it hits the batter are all great options.
