Beer Batter Fried Fish Malt Vinegar Recipes

BEER BATTER FISH MADE GREAT

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.

BEER-BATTERED FISH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200°F (93°C), and set a rack inside a rimmed baking sheet.
• In a medium bowl, toss the fish with the Old Bay seasoning to fully coat.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Add the beer and malt vinegar and whisk until smooth.
• In a large Dutch oven or saucepan over medium-high heat, warm the oil. Use an instant-read thermometer to check periodically until the oil hits 350°F (177°C), 5 to 10 minutes.
• Use tongs to dip a few pieces of fish into the batter. Turn to fully coat and then remove, one at a time, allowing excess batter to drip back into the bowl.
• Carefully lower each piece into the heated oil. Fry, turning once, until golden brown and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Move to the prepared rack and baking sheet and keep warm in the oven while frying the remaining fish.
• Working in batches, batter and fry the remaining fish, taking care not to crowd the fish. Between batches, use a small spoon or spider to remove any stray pieces of batter from the surface of the oil, and allow the oil to return to 350°F (177°C) between batches.

BEER BATTERED FISH WITH PEPPERED MALT VINEGAR

Steps:

• Pour oil into large heavy skillet or Dutch oven, filling no more than 1/3 full. Heat to 375°F on medium heat. (If using a deep fryer, follow manufacturers' instructions.) Mix malt vinegar and 1/2 teaspoon of the black pepper in a small bowl. Set aside until ready to serve.
• While oil is heating, mix flour, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, 1/2 teaspoon of the remaining black pepper, garlic powder and paprika in large bowl. Whisk in beer and egg. Let batter rest 10 minutes.
• Dry cod with paper towels and sprinkle with remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and remaining 1/2 teaspoon of the black pepper. Working in batches, dip fish into batter; allow excess to drip off. Transfer battered fish directly to hot oil. Fry 4 to 6 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through, turning halfway through. Drain on paper towel-lined plate.
• Sprinkle with additional salt, if desired and serve immediately with Peppered Malt Vinegar.

BEER-BATTERED FISH AND CHIPS

Steps:

• Set a colander in a large bowl of ice water. Slice the potatoes lengthwise 1/4 inch thick, then stack the slices and cut into 1/4-inch-thick sticks, adding them to the ice water as you work. Refrigerate 30 minutes or up to 1 hour. Lift the colander out of the ice water, rinse the potatoes well and pat very dry.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Heat 4 inches vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven until a deep-fry thermometer registers 280 degrees F. Add half of the potatoes; fry until tender but still colorless, about 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with the remaining potatoes. Increase the oil temperature to 365 degrees F.
• Whisk 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, the rice flour, baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt and the cayenne in a large bowl. Whisk in the beer until mostly smooth. Let sit 5 minutes to thicken.
• Set a wire rack on a rimmed baking sheet. Season the fish with salt. Working in two batches, dredge the fish in the remaining 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, then dip in the beer batter, letting the excess drip off. Fry until crisp and golden brown, about 4 minutes. Transfer to the rack; sprinkle with salt. Keep warm in the oven.
• Increase the oil temperature to 380 degrees F. Working in two batches, fry the potatoes again until crisp and golden brown, about 2 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate and season with salt. Serve the fish and chips with malt vinegar and lemon wedges.

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.

BONNIE'S BEER BATTER FRIED FISH AND MALT VINEGAR

Steps:

• 1. Heat the electric skillet or deep fryer to 375 degrees. Use canola oil for frying.
• 2. Before you begin, make sure the fish is dry. This will make the batter stick to the fish. You can use any white firm fish, but cod is better.
• 3. In a pie plate, combine flour, baking soda, salt and pepper. Whisk until mixed, then add the beer and mix until smooth. You may need to add a little more beer to thin the batter.
• 4. Drop the coated fish in the hot oil. Fry about 6 to 8 minutes a side until golden brown and crispy, and then turn and cook the other side. Don't over cook. Drain fish on paper towels.
• 5. Serve with the homemade tartar sauce recipe above. Sprinkle the fish with malt vinegar. Pass the bottle at the table.
• 6. This is what it looks like! Enjoy!
• 7. Cook's tip: This is excellent served with my oven fries posted on this site. You can make either fries or the wedges/chips. They are also low in calories and fat with only 1 tablespoon of olive oil!" https://www.justapinch.com/recipe/utahn/best-oven-baked-fries/potatoes?k=oven+fries+bonnie&p=1&o=r
