Beer Battered Fish
Beer Battered Fish
*Jim’s Recipe
Tip: Best to cook the fish fresh but if you must freeze – after fish are filleted, freeze in zip-lock baggies with water and remove all the air possible.
Ingredients
1 ½ # crappies or walleyes
2 c. flour, divided
1-2 t. Old Bay seasoning, divided
beer – add enough to make a runny batter
salt and pepper to taste
Optional spices: season salt, Cajun, hot sauce
oil for frying
Instructions
Dry fillets with paper towels. Combine 1cup flour, and ½ t. Old Bay in a large zip-lock bag. Add fillets and dredge in the flour mixture, until well coated.
In a bowl, combine 1c. flour, ½ t. Old Bay, salt and pepper, and optional spices; mix until combined.
Add beer to flour mixture until you have a runny batter.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add dredged fillets to batter and place in oil, skin side down. Cook until golden brown on the edges and turn; cook second side until golden brown.
Serve hot with Malt vinegar or Tatar Sauce.
