battered fish recipe

Battered fried fish made with a simple flour batter and deep fried to perfection is one of our favorite fish recipes and it&#039;s easy too!

Battered Fried Fish

white fish

all purpose flour

sugar

baking powder

smoked paprika

onion powder

garlic powder

salt

eggs

milk

Lemon wedges and tartar sauce

In a large Dutch oven, cast iron fryer, or heavy bottom pan add the oil and start preheating it over medium to medium high heat.

In a medium mixing bowl add the flour, sugar, baking powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt.

Stir with a wooden spoon to combine.

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the eggs and milk.

Stir to combine and until no dry bits remain and a smooth batter forms.

Prepare the fish by patting it dry with paper towels or a clean dish towel.

When the oil reaches 375 degrees F. (I like to use a paddle thermometer to monitor my oil temperatures when frying) dip a piece of fish in the batter and place the battered fish in the hot oil. Repeat with a few more pieces, taking care to not crowd the pan. 

Allow the fish to cook until deep golden brown, about 3-4 minutes before flipping and then allow to cook on that side for an additional 3-4 minutes.

Remove with a slotted spoon or a spider strainer and place the cooked battered fish on a plate or rimmed baking sheet lined with paper towels to absorb the extra grease.

Repeat until you've used all your fish

Serve right away and enjoy hot. Serve with fresh squeezed lemon on top and tartar sauce if you'd like. We love fried fish with hush puppies and coleslaw on the side.

Substituted lemon &amp; ginger soda for the milk and it turned out even better than I expected.

Very good! Easy to make and had a great flavor. I will be making this one again. Thank you for sharing!

Made half of the recipe. Very good recipe for a crispy and light batter. The second time I made this batter I followed the suggestions by Roger J Waters enclosed below and used beer (IPA) instead of milk and substituted half of the flour with rice flour (50/50 regular flour/rice flour mix instead of all regular flour). These two changes put it over the top. Outstanding batter, very crispy and light.

Good recipe! I followed the recipe exactly, except that I added a few dashes of garlic powder. It turned out very good! Has anyone used this for chicken?

Great recipe! Just did it and it worked awesome :) i'll try the beer replacement for a second time! ;)

Yo, Roger ... I only use 3/4 of an inch of vegetable oil in that deep cast iron skillet that can be recycled after it cools and used again for frying for up to 3 times ... after that you can take it to a recycling center ... splatter abatement by frying outside on your side burner of your gas grill !!! .. bob w.

Five-star recipe ... used lager beer instead of milk and used 50/50 regular flour/rice flour instead of just using the regular ... used haddock , fried in a deep hundred year old cast iron skillet outside on the side burner of my gas grill over a medium hot flame !!! ... yes indeed , light-years better than store bought fish sticks !!! ... robert j. walters
