Guinness Beer Battered Fish

INGREDIENTS
  • 2 cups Guinness beer

  • 1 tsp baking soda

  • 1 tsp salt

  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper

  • 1 egg

  • all purpose flour

  • 8, 3-oz cutlets of Pollack, Cod or Haddock, boneless and sliced on the bias

DIRECTIONS

STEP 1

In large mixing bowl, add beer, baking soda, salt & pepper and egg. With a whisk, slowly add enough flour until the batter is thick, not runny and adheres to a wooden spoon.

STEP 2

Heat oil in a deep fryer or in a deep sided sauté pan to 350º F. Dredge fish in flour, shaking off excess and dip in batter, covering all sides of fish.

STEP 3

Holding battered fish, gently dip into hot oil, holding halfway in. Wait 15 seconds and drop into oil. This will prevent the fish from sticking to the bottom.

STEP 4

Flip fish over when brown on one side and cook altogether about 6-8 minutes, depending on the thickness of the filets. The fish should be all one color all the way thru or 140º internal temperature. Serve with tartar sauce and French fries.
