Beer Battered Fish and Chips

Ingredients:

  • 8 pieces of hake fillets
  • 8-10 large potatoes
  • Oil for deep frying

    • For the Batter:

    • 250 ml (1 cup) self-raising flour
    • 5 ml (1 tsp) salt
    • 5 ml (1 tsp) curry powder (optional)
    • 5 ml (1 tsp) baking powder
    • 1 egg yolk
    • 15 ml (1 tbsp) oil
    • 250-350 ml beer

Servings: 8

Prep Time: 30 minutes

Cook Time: 15 minutes

Instructions:

Prepare the Chips:

  • Start by cutting the potatoes into 1 cm thick chips, without peeling. Press them dry with a kitchen towel.
  • Heat the oil until warm, and fry the chips in batches until soft. Remove each batch after one fry.
  • Fry the chips a second time until crispy and golden brown. Keep them in the oven while preparing the fish.

Prepare the Fish:

  • Whisk all the batter ingredients together until smooth.
  • Roll the fish fillets in flour, then dip them in the batter. Let the excess batter drip off.
  • Heat the oil again and test the temperature with a small piece of bread—the bread should brown immediately.
  • Deep fry the fish in batches until golden brown and cooked through. Do not fry all the fish at once, as it will lower the oil temperature.
  • Drain the cooked fish on paper towels.
  • Enjoy!
