Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 fillets White fish fillets (such as cod, haddock, or pollock)
- 1 cup Tapioca flour
- 1 tablespoon Coconut flour
- 1 cup Paleo-friendly beer substitute (such as kombucha or sparkling water)
- 1 Egg
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 cups Coconut oil (for frying)
Instructions
Rinse the fish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
In a large bowl, combine the tapioca flour, coconut flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and paleo-friendly beer substitute until well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until the batter has a smooth consistency. It should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Heat the coconut oil in a large pan over medium-high heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C). You'll know it's ready when a small piece of batter dropped into the oil begins to fry immediately.
Dip each fish fillet into the batter, ensuring it's completely covered, and carefully place it into the hot oil.
Fry the fish for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the batter is golden brown and the fish is cooked through.
Remove the fish from the oil and transfer it to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve the fish immediately, garnished with lemon wedges and fresh herbs if desired.
