Crunchy Batter Fried Fish No Beer Recipes

CRISPY BATTERED HALIBUT WITH NO BEER

Steps:

• Prep your fish by removing the skin (if any) and cutting into pieces sized about as big as a deck of cards prior to mixing your batter.
• Preheat your oil as well. Ideal frying temperature is about 365. If the oil is not hot enough you'll end up with greasy fish. If it's too hot you'll burn the batter before the fish is cooked through. The batter needs to be used immediately after it's mixed. Baking powder is temperamental and doesn't wait for cold oil!
• Combine all the dry ingredients except for the bread crumbs, and stir well to evenly distribute. Stir in the cold water and immediately dip fish in the batter, and then do a quick coat in the bread crumbs and carefully put into the preheated oil.
• Cook until golden brown and the fish is cooked through.
