Description

Delicious beer battered halibut, perfectly crispy and served hot for the best results.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 lb. halibut (fillets sliced into sticks)
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/3 tsp paprika
  • 1/3 tsp pepper
  • 1/3 tsp granulated garlic (or garlic powder)
  • 1/3 cup beer (or other carbonated soda)
  • vegetable oil (for frying)

Instructions

  1. Dry the halibut fillet to remove excess moisture, cut into squares or strips. Mix half the flour in a bowl, as well as paprika, salt and granulated garlic.
  2. Mix the remaining flour in another bowl with pepper and baking powder, add beer and stir until the batter reaches a thick consistency. If the batter is too runny, add a little flour. Should resemble pancake batter consistency.
  3. Heat the oil to 350 F. Roll the fish pieces in flour with spices. Dip the fish pieces into the batter until they are completely covered.
  4. If you want fried fish in a pan, then add about 1/2 inch of frying oil and fry for 3 minutes on medium heat on one side. On the other side, fry for another 3 minutes until golden browned.
  5. Place the fish on napkins to absorb excess oil. For deep fried fish, transfer the battered fish into hot oil. Cook for about 6-7 minutes total, turning to ensure even cooking. Place the fish on napkins to absorb excess oil.
  6. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper once removed and enjoy immediately for crispy best results.

Notes

  • For an extra crispy texture, ensure the oil is sufficiently hot before frying.
  • Adjust seasoning according to personal taste preferences.
