Beer Battered Fish (For Fish N'chips)
SERVES 4 -6
Ingredients
- 2 lbs frozen cod, thawed (fresher tasting)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour, plus
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, to dredge
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
- 2 (12 ounce) cans cold fresh beer
- oil (for frying)
Directions
1
Sift together flour, salt, and paprika.2
Stir in enough beer to make batter so it is barely thick enough to coat a spoon. Usually somewhere between one and two cans.3
(It may look too thin, but you want it that way, if it's too thick, the batter will be chewy instead of light and crunchy) Set batter aside while you heat your deep-fryer or deep pan of oil to 375 degrees. Use a candy thermometer if you need to.4
Peanut oil is best but any vegetable oil will do.5
Cut the cod fillets diagonally into 2 inch wide strips, and remove any pin bones from fish.6
Lightly coat fish in flour and shake off excess. This will allow batter to stick to fish.7
When oil is heated, dip fish in batter, let excess drip off, then fry fillets 2 or 3 at a time until golden brown.8
Drain on paper towels.9
Serve with fries and tartar sauce.

My sister called for a recipe because she was having guests over for a TV night and she happened to call just as I was printing this recipe to try. She made it first and called to tell me it was delicious (despite setting her apartment on fire twice trying to make it without a deep fryer). I made it following her rave reviews (though I used whole wheat flour...and a deep fryer) and she was right! Scrumptious! The whole family loved it! Thanks!

I am not a big fan of fish but we were trying to eat fish on Friday's as much as we could. Bought two bags of frozen cod, used Coor's beer, and vegetable oil to fry the fish. I also did use a candy thermometer to make sure my oil was hot enough. Loved the flavor of the fish and the crunchy coating was so good. Very easy to make and next time might try the Old Bay seasoning like one of the reviewers did. Thank you Bethany Taylor for posting this recipe! Made and reviewed for Pick A Chef Spring 2009.

Very good fish and chips! I used brown ale in the batter and tilapia cut into 1" strips for the fish. Next time I may consider double dipping in the batter to get a more consistent, slightly thicker batter. Great!

Easy, good and crunchy. Hubby fried the fish and commented on how well it stuck to the fish. Kid-friendly, too.
