Wisconsin Beer Battered Fried Fish Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oil in a deep fryer to 365 degrees F (185 degrees C). Rinse fish, pat dry, and season with salt and pepper.
• Combine flour, garlic powder, paprika, 2 teaspoons salt, and 2 teaspoons pepper. Stir egg into dry ingredients. Gradually mix in beer until a thin batter is formed. You should be able to see the fish through the batter after it has been dipped.
• Dip fish fillets into the batter, then drop one at a time into hot oil. Fry fish, turning once, until both sides are golden brown. Drain on paper towels, and serve warm.

Steps:

• Put flour, seasoning salt, garlic powder and paprika into a large bowl and whisk to combine.
• Add beer and 1/4 cup water and whisk to make a smooth batter.
• Pour the oil into a large heavy pot to a depth of 2" and heat over medium high heat until temperature registers 350 F on a deep fry thermometer.
• Working in batches, dust the fish with cornstarch lightly, dip the fish into the batter, shaking off some of the excess, and fry, turning occasionally, until cooked through and deep golden brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer the fried fish to a rack to drain.

Steps:

• Preheat oil to 375° for fish -- 350° for other.**.
• Mix all ingredients together until very thin & smooth. (You may not need the entire bottle/can of beer, so drink the rest if you want to.hate to see good beer wasted. LOL!).
• Batter should be thin, but NOT runny -- adjust amounts accordingly.
• Fish should be thawed & patted dry.
• Dust the fish or whatever with DRY batter mix (Plain flour will work, too).
• Dip into beer batter until completely coated.
• Place into hot oil,.BE CAREFUL so you don't burn yourself!
• Fry in small batches until golden brown, turning once -- fish should take about 5-7 minutes, depending on thickness -- onion rings should take about 3-5 minutes total -- cheese curds take only 1-+/- minute.
• Drain on paper towel.
• Serve with your favorite Tartar Sauce & ENJOY!
• *NOTE: When deep frying cheese curds, it's best to put them in the freezer for AT LEAST 2 hours before deep frying.
• **NOTE II: If using a deep fryer,."FOLLOW MGFr's DIRECTIONS". A fry pot with hot oil should be NO MORE than 1/3 full to prevent accidents!
