CRISPY BEER BATTER FISH & CHIPS
Virtually every beer-battered fish recipe looks crispy coming out of the fryer, and some even stay crispy for a few minutes, but then the inevitable sogginess sets in. Well, with this simple formula, and a few easy tricks, you can achieve a fried fish where the last bite is as crisp as the first. The keys are keeping your batter really cold and patting your fish really dry. Serve over a bed of salt 'n vinegar chips with tartar sauce and lemon.

Steps:
- Whisk self-rising flour, rice flour, and baking powder together in a bowl. Freeze until ready to use.
- Pat fish as dry as possible. Cut pieces lengthwise to get eight 1-inch thick strips. Place rice flour on a plate and season with salt. Dust fish lightly with the mixture and shake off excess. Cover a plate with crinkled foil to make a quick drying rack; place fish on top.
- Heat oil in a deep-fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Pour beer into the flour mixture and whisk, adding more as needed, until batter is the consistency of thick pancake batter. Dip fish pieces into the batter to coat; lift out and let excess drip off.
- Fry fish in batches until golden brown, dunking occasionally if needed, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Serve immediately.

CRISPY BEER-BATTERED FISH

BEER-BATTERED FISH AND CHIPS
Here's my twist on classic fish and chips. The challenge of making a batch of this pub favorite is timing it so both elements (fish and potatoes) get out hot on the plate without the cook having to set up two fryers. My trick is to blanch the chips in boiling water to precook them, then fry and hold the chips in a warm oven while I fry the fish.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
- For the chips: Fill a 6- to 8-quart Dutch oven with oil to a depth of about 5 inches. Heat to 365 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer.
- Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise, then cut each half into thirds lengthwise, making wide strips. Place the potatoes in a medium saucepan with enough cold water to cover by about 1 inch. Salt the water generously and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer for about 5 minutes. Drain the potatoes and transfer them to a sheet pan lined with paper towels to dry for about 10 minutes. Once the potatoes are very dry, working in 2 batches, gently transfer them to the oil and fry until golden brown and crispy, 3 to 6 minutes.
- Transfer the chips to a rack set over a baking sheet and sprinkle immediately with 1 to 2 teaspoons salt. Keep warm in the oven while you fry the fish. (You can also reheat them with a quick second fry while fish is cooling slightly.)
- For the fish: Place the fillets on a small baking sheet or large plate, blot dry with paper towels and sprinkle on all sides with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Move the fish to one side and place 1/2 cup of flour on the other side (this flour is for dusting the fish just before dipping it in batter). Season the flour with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper.
- To make the batter, place the remaining 1 cup flour, garlic powder, paprika, baking powder, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl. Stir together with a fork until combined. When ready to fry, pour in the beer and whisk until smooth. The batter should be the consistency of fairly thin pancake batter.
- Dredge the fish on all sides in the flour on the baking sheet. Shake off any excess. Working in 2 batches, coat one fillet at time in the batter, letting excess drip back into the bowl. Gently lower the fillet into the hot oil. Repeat with the remaining fillets. Fry until GBD (golden brown and delicious), 4 to 6 minutes, turning over midway through cooking.
- Drain the fillets on a rack set over a sheet pan. Serve immediately with the chips. Classic condiments to serve alongside include malt vinegar, tartar sauce or HP Sauce.

Steps:
- Preheat the oil in a large pot to 300 degrees F. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a tray with paper towels.
- Cut the potatoes into large wedges, about 10 per potato. Fry the potatoes for around 4 minutes. (They will be soggy.) Remove them to the lined tray and pat them dry. Turn the oil to 375 degrees F.
- Meanwhile, sprinkle the fish all over with salt. Combine 1/2 cup flour and 1 teaspoon turmeric on a plate, then season with salt. Dredge the fish in the flour mixture and let sit on the plate. Mix the baking soda with the remaining 2 cups flour and 2 teaspoons turmeric in a second bowl. Season well with salt. Slowly whisk in the beer until the batter has a pancake-batter consistency (you might not use it all). Fold in the egg whites. Adjust with more or less flour or beer as needed.
- Line a sheet tray with a wire rack. Fry the potatoes at 375 degrees F until crispy, about 4 minutes. Transfer to the rack and season with salt immediately. Hold the chips in the oven while you fry the fish.
- Lower the fry oil to 250 degrees F and line a plate with paper towels. Pat the excess flour from the fish, then coat in the batter. Gently lower the fish into the oil and fry until golden brown and the fish is cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer the fish to the lined plate and season with salt. Serve with Tartar Sauce, chips and lemon wedges.
- Combine the mayonnaise, pickles, capers, peppers, lemon zest, lemon juice and dill in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper and mix until combined.
UNBELIEVABLE FISH BATTER
In the early 1950's, I received this recipe on an open-line, talk-radio show. It makes the lightest, crispiest batter imaginable. This makes enough to coat approximately 2 pounds of fish.

Steps:
- Combine the flour, cornflour, baking powder and turmeric in a large bowl, season, then spoon 1 tbsp onto a plate and set aside. Gradually pour the beer and water into the bowl, stirring with a wooden spoon until you have a smooth, lump-free batter. Leave to rest for 30 mins while you prepare the chips.
- Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Boil a large pan of water, then add the chipped potatoes and boil for 2-3 mins until the outsides are just tender but not soft. drain well, then tip onto a large baking tray with the flour, oil and some salt. Gently toss together until all the potatoes are evenly coated and the flour is no longer dusty. Roast for 30 mins, turning occasionally, until the chips are golden and crisp.
- To cook the fish, heat the 1 litre oil in a deep saucepan until a drop of batter sizzles and crisps up straight away. Pat the fish dry with kitchen paper, then toss it in the reserved turmeric flour mix. Shake off any excess, then dip into the batter. Carefully lower each fillet into the hot oil and fry for 6-8 mins - depending on the thickness of the fish - until golden and crisp. Using a large slotted spoon, lift out the fish, drain on kitchen paper, then sprinkle with salt. Serve with the hot chips and Homemade tomato sauce (see 'goes well with').
