Beer Batter Fish Cakes Recipes

AIR FRIED BEER BATTERED FISH

Steps:

• Combine the 1 cup of flour, cornstarch and baking soda in a large bowl. Add the beer and egg and stir until smooth. Cover the bowl of batter with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.
• Combine the ¾ cup of flour, paprika, salt, black pepper and cayenne pepper in a shallow dredging pan.
• Make sure your pieces of fish are at least 1 to 1½ inches thick so they don't dry out in the air fryer. Pat the cod fish fillets dry with a paper towel. Dip the fish into the batter, coating all sides. Let the excess batter drip off and then coat each fillet with the seasoned flour. Sprinkle any leftover flour on the fish fillets and pat gently to adhere the flour to the batter.
• Pre-heat the air fryer to 390°F.
• Generously spritz both sides of the coated fish filets with vegetable oil and place them in the air fryer basket. Air-fry for 12 minutes at 390ºF. Spritz with more oil during the cooking process if there are any dry spots on the coating.
• Serve immediately with lemon wedges, malt vinegar and tartar sauce. It's perfect with some air-fried French fries and coleslaw too!

GOLDEN BEER-BATTERED FISH WITH CHIPS

Steps:

• Combine the flour, cornflour, baking powder and turmeric in a large bowl, season, then spoon 1 tbsp onto a plate and set aside. Gradually pour the beer and water into the bowl, stirring with a wooden spoon until you have a smooth, lump-free batter. Leave to rest for 30 mins while you prepare the chips.
• Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Boil a large pan of water, then add the chipped potatoes and boil for 2-3 mins until the outsides are just tender but not soft. drain well, then tip onto a large baking tray with the flour, oil and some salt. Gently toss together until all the potatoes are evenly coated and the flour is no longer dusty. Roast for 30 mins, turning occasionally, until the chips are golden and crisp.
• To cook the fish, heat the 1 litre oil in a deep saucepan until a drop of batter sizzles and crisps up straight away. Pat the fish dry with kitchen paper, then toss it in the reserved turmeric flour mix. Shake off any excess, then dip into the batter. Carefully lower each fillet into the hot oil and fry for 6-8 mins - depending on the thickness of the fish - until golden and crisp. Using a large slotted spoon, lift out the fish, drain on kitchen paper, then sprinkle with salt. Serve with the hot chips and Homemade tomato sauce (see 'goes well with').

BEER BATTERED COD CAKES

Steps:

• Rinse the fish under cool water and pat dry using paper toweling. Add the chicken stock into a 4-quart saucepan. Bring the stock to a simmer over medium heat. Add in the fish and poach for about ten minutes. Using a fish spatula, remove the fish from the stock, and set onto paper toweling to cool. Discard the stock.
• Rinse the saucepan and return it to the stove over medium-high heat. Add in the butter, onions, and garlic. Sauté until the onion turns translucent, five to seven minutes. Place the onion mixture into a bowl and cool.
• Place the cod, shrimp, onion mixture, and the parsley into a food processor. Pulse the mixture several times until the fish and vegetables are combined. Remove the chopped fish paste and place into a bowl. Chill the fish paste in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to firm up.
• Remove the fish paste from the fridge and using wet hands (use cold water), form the fish paste into two-ounce balls (about two inches).
• Heat a heavy 4-quart stockpot with the vegetable oil to 350°F.
• Mix together one cup of the flour, curry powder, and the beer. Fold in the egg whites. Place the remaining flour onto a clean work surface or a plate. 
• Slightly flatten each two-ounce ball and dredge in the flour, then dip into the beer batter. Drop the fish cakes one at a time into the fryer. Fry the cod cakes until the puff and turn light golden brown. Remove the cakes and place them onto paper toweling. 
• Serve with Kelp Pickles

BEER-BATTERED FISH BURGERS

Steps:

• To quick-pickle the onions, mix them with a pinch of salt and the vinegar, then set aside. Mix all the ingredients for the tartar sauce, and set aside. Both can be made up to a day ahead and kept chilled.
• To make the batter, tip the flours and spices into a small bowl with a pinch of salt, then pour over the beer or fizzy water. Mix quickly until it just comes together with the consistency of double cream - don't over-beat (a few lumps are fine). Keep chilled until needed.
• Carefully heat the oil in a large wide pan like a wok, ensuring the pan is no more than two-thirds full, or heat a deep-fat fryer to 185C if you have a thermometer. The oil is hot enough when a drizzle of batter crisps in less than a minute.
• Working quickly, season the fish with salt, then dust in flour before dredging through the batter. Hold the fillet above the bowl of batter to let the excess drip back into it, then carefully lower into the oil. Repeat with the second fillet. Fry the two fillets for about 4 mins, turning once, until deep golden and crisp. Carefully lift onto a plate lined with kitchen paper to drain for a minute.
• To assemble, split each roll and spread both the top and bottom generously with the tartar sauce. Place lettuce on the bottom half, then add some pickled onions and a fish fillet. Top with gherkin slices, if you like, then serve straightaway.
