Bonnies Beer Batter Fried Fish And Malt Vinegar Food

CLASSIC FISH AND CHIPS

Steps:

• Cut potatoes lengthwise into ½-inch strips.
• Heat oil (2 to 3 inches or enough to cover) in deep fryer or Dutch oven to 375 degrees.
• Fill basket one-fourth full with potatoes. (I don't have a basket - I use a Fry Daddy and it works fine. Just be sure and put the chips in one at a time so they don't stick to each
• other.) Skip the next step if you're not using a basket.
• Slowly lower basket into hot oil. (If oil bubbles excessively, raise and lower basket several times.) Use a long-handled fork to keep potatoes separated.
• Fry potatoes 5 to 7 minutes or until golden brown; drain on paper towels.
• Place potatoes in single layer on cookie sheet and keep warm.
• Repeat with remaining potatoes.
• Cut fish filets into 2 x 1/-1/2-inch pieces. Pat dry with paper towels.
• Mix flour and salt.
• Mix baking soda and vinegar.
• Stir vinegar mixture and water into flour mixture; beat until smooth.
• Dip fish into batter, allowing excess batter to drip into bowl.
• Fry 4 or 5 fish pieces at a time (do not use basket) about 3 minutes, turning fish once, until brown. Drain on paper towels.
• Set oven control to broil. Broil potatoes 6 inches from heat 2 to 3 minutes or until crisp.

BEER BATTER FISH

Steps:

• 1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour and beer before adding malt vinegar and paprika. Whisk until all the ingredients are very well blended. Cover with a tea towel and let it sit for 30 minutes. Start the deep fryer so it has time to reach 375ºF.
• 2. In a large shallow plate, combine flour, Old Bay seasoning and black pepper. Stir until well combined. When batter has been resting for ½ hour, dredge each fillet in the seasoned flour and shake off excess; place on a plate while doing others.
• 3. Dip fillets in the batter until well coated and lift it up so the excess batter runs off. Drop one fillet at a time in the hot oil, gently moving back and forth before letting go
• 4. DON'T overcrowd the fryer. Cook each for 6-7 minutes or until golden brown. Using thongs take fillet out of the oil and hold it a few seconds to let oil drip off. Place fillet on a plate lined with a rack and transfer into a 200ºF preheated oven to keep them warm while frying the remaining. Serve with fries, tartar sauce and a lemon wedge; sprinkle fried fish with malt vinegar
