How to Make Battered Fish Like The Fish Chip Shop

  1. Cut the fish fillets into 5-inch strips.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Gradually whisk in the ice-cold beer until a smooth batter forms. Do not overmix.
  4. Heat the oil in a deep fryer or large, deep pan to 375°F (190°C).
  5. Dip each fish strip into the batter, ensuring it's fully coated.
  6. Carefully place the battered fish strips into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
  7. Fry for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Remove the fish from the oil and place it on a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
  9. Serve immediately with your favorite chips, tartar sauce, and lemon wedges.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
