Battered Fish
Battered Fish
Serves: 4
Ingredients:
- 4 large fish fillets or 8 small fish fillets (whiting shown in picture)
- 750ml vegetable oil
- 1 cup SR flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup very cold soda water
Method:
- Place all the oil in a large heavy based frying pan and heat the oil until it is hot enough to fry the fish. You can test if it is hot enough by putting a wooden spoon handle into the hot oil and if it bubbles around the wooden handle then it is hot enough.
- Whisk together the flour, salt and soda water until well combined.
- Glide your fish fillet through the batter, turn the fillet over and again glide through the batter mixture.
- Gently place the fish into the hot oil by placing the largest part of the fillet into the oil and gradually lowering the rest of the fillet into the oil.
- Repeat with the other fillets, you may need to cook in batches as you do not want to overcrowd the frying pan.
- Fry for about 3-4 minutes until the underside is golden and crispy and then gently flip the fish fillet over and cook for another 3-4 minutes, remove the fillet from the oil and place on a piece of paper towel to drain the excess oil.
- Repeat until all fish is cooked.
