Battered Fish - Like the Fish & Chip Shop!

Ingredients

• 3 medium fish fillets
• 4 1/2 ounces self raising flour
• 6 fluid ounces skim milk
• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon butter, melted
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon cajun seasoning
• oil (for frying, I like sunflower oil for this)
• plain flour, for dusting

Directions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 180°C.

2. 2

   In a 10" x 3" plastic tub, place the flour, egg, salt, seasoning, milk & melted butter. Blend really well using an immersion blender - or liquidize & pour into the tub. (The tub just makes it easier to apply the batter to the fish.).

3. 3

   Rinse your fillets & cut into 5" pieces. Dust each piece with a little flour.

4. 4

   Heat your fryer to approximately 180 - 190°C.

5. 5

   Dip the fillerts one by one in the batter & coat both sides evenly.

6. 6

   When the oil has reached the correct temp, gently lay one fillet at a time onto the top of the oil.

7. 7

   Cook until golden brown on both sides - takes me about 4-5 mins, then remove & place on a tray with a wire rack (I use the grill pan) in the oven to stay crisp & hot.

8. 8

   Repeat with the remaining fish.

9. 9

   Serve with chunky chips, peas (mushy is best!) & lots of salt & vinegar -- .
