Beer Battered Fish and Chips Recipe

courtesy Paula Deen


4 large baking potatoes, cut into French fry strips

Beer Batter:
1 (12-ounce) bottle beer
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon House Seasoning, recipe follows
1 1/2 pounds cod fillets, skinned with bones removed, and fish cut diagonally into 1-inch-wide strips (5 to 6-inches long)


In a Dutch oven, heat oil to 375 degrees F.
Fry potatoes until golden brown, roughly 10 minutes removing with a slotted spoon or spider. Hold in low oven to keep warm while cooking the fish.

Preheat oven to 225 degrees F,

Batter:
In a large bowl, pour in 1 bottle of beer. Sift 1 1/2 cups flour into the bowl, whisking in gently until just combined, stir in House Seasoning. Pat fish dry and season on both sides with salt and pepper and dredge in 1/2 cup of remaining flour. Coat pieces of fish in beer batter and slide into oil as coated. Fry fish, turning over frequently, until deep golden and cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined baking sheet and keep warm in oven. Fry remaining fish in batches, returning oil to 375 degrees F between batches.

Serve fish with French fries.



House Seasoning:
1 cup salt
1/4 cup black pepper
1/4 cup garlic powder

Paula claims her House seasoning is good for 6mo's if stored in an airtight container.

I love this batter because it is so crunchy,my problem is making sure I have the oil hot enough to make it stick.I have no patience when I am hungry!
