GLUTEN FREE FISH FRY

Steps:

• Mix the flour and the baking powder together, then add the club soda.
• Cut the fillets in half then season them with salt and pepper.
• Dredge the fish and then dip them in the batter.
• Fry the fish in oil at 350 degrees. Usually only takes about 4-5 minutes and I flip halfway through.

GLUTEN-FREE CHICKPEA FLOUR FISH AND CHIPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Place an empty baking sheet in the oven to heat.
• Cut the potatoes into 1/2-inch wedges. Toss with 2 tablespoons of the oil and season with salt and black pepper. Spread the potatoes evenly on the heated baking sheet, return to the oven and roast until dark golden at the edges and slightly crisp, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the mayonnaise, harissa, cornichons and a squeeze of lemon juice in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate.
• Whisk together the chickpea flour, cornstarch, cayenne, 1 tablespoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper in a shallow dish. Whisk the eggs with 1/4 cup water in another dish. Cut the fish into 2 by 1-inch planks. Dredge the fish in the chickpea flour mixture, dip in the egg and then dredge again in the flour mixture. Set aside on a baking sheet to rest.
• Heat the remaining 3/4 cup oil in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Add the fish in batches and fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Remove to a cooling rack or paper towels to drain. Season with salt and black pepper.
• Serve the fish with the potatoes, tartar sauce and lemon wedges. Garnish with parsley, if desired.

GLUTEN-FREE BEER-BATTERED FRIED FISH

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, cornstarch, baking powder, sugar, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
• Add gluten-free beer or club soda and mix until the batter is smooth and not too thick or too thin. Add more liquid if the batter is too thick (it should be a bit runny, but you shouldn't be able to see the fish through it).
• Heat the oil over medium heat in a large skillet to 375 F. If you don't have a thermometer, you can tell if the oil is hot enough when bubbles form around a chopstick or skewer when it is placed in the oil.
• When the oil has come up to temperature, dip the fillets in the batter one at a time making sure both sides are coated. Hold above the bowl to let excess batter drip off.
• Carefully place fish in the hot oil and fry for 3 minutes or until the batter has set. Fry the fish in batches of 2 to 4 pieces at a time, depending on the size of the skillet.
• Using a spatula, turn and cook for another 3 to 5 minutes or until golden brown. If you have an infrared thermometer, use it to check the fish, which should be at 145 F (a conventional instant-read thermometer won't work because the fish is too thin to take an accurate temperature). Otherwise, take a peek inside with a thin knife. The fish should be white and opaque when done.
• To keep the first batch warm while you fry the remaining fillets, transfer to a rimmed baking sheet and place in a heated 250 F oven for up to 20 minutes. Finish frying the rest of the fish.
• Drain on paper towels and serve while still warm.
