Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces firm white fish fillets (such as cod or haddock)
- 1.5 cups flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 can (12 oz) low sodium beer
- 4 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
- 1 lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels and set them aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and black pepper.
Gradually whisk in the low sodium beer until you achieve a smooth batter. The batter should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
Dredge each fish fillet in a small amount of flour to help the batter adhere, shaking off any excess.
Dip the floured fish fillets into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off.
Carefully place the battered fish into the hot oil, cooking them in batches to avoid overcrowding.
Fry each piece for about 4-5 minutes, or until the batter is golden brown and the fish is cooked through.
Remove the fish from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
