Crispy Beer-Battered Fish - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
1 tsp active dried yeast
1 cup beer, at room temperature
1 cup flour
1 tbsp oil, plus additional, for frying
1 2/3 lbs fish fillets, cut into short lengths
None None Sweet potato chips and lemon wedges, to serve
Preparation
-
For the batter, mix yeast and 1/4 cup of the beer in a medium bowl; stir until dissolved. Add remaining beer.
Sift flour and pinch of salt into a large bowl. Add beer mixture and oil; stir until blended. Set aside to rise in a warm spot for 20-40 mins. The batter should be risen, well aerated and bubbly.
Heat oil to 350\u00b0F in a medium saucepan (the oil should come one-third of the way up the sides). Dip pieces of fish in batter one at a time, letting excess drip off, then carefully lower into hot oil.
Cook in batches until golden, then turn and cook the other side. Remove with a large slotted spoon or spatula and drain on a wire rack set over a tray. Sprinkle with sea salt and serve with sweet potato chips and lemon wedges.
