Beer Battered Fish With Peppered Malt Vinegar Recipes

BONNIE'S BEER BATTER FRIED FISH AND MALT VINEGAR

Steps:

• 1. Heat the electric skillet or deep fryer to 375 degrees. Use canola oil for frying.
• 2. Before you begin, make sure the fish is dry. This will make the batter stick to the fish. You can use any white firm fish, but cod is better.
• 3. In a pie plate, combine flour, baking soda, salt and pepper. Whisk until mixed, then add the beer and mix until smooth. You may need to add a little more beer to thin the batter.
• 4. Drop the coated fish in the hot oil. Fry about 6 to 8 minutes a side until golden brown and crispy, and then turn and cook the other side. Don't over cook. Drain fish on paper towels.
• 5. Serve with the homemade tartar sauce recipe above. Sprinkle the fish with malt vinegar. Pass the bottle at the table.
• 6. This is what it looks like! Enjoy!
• 7. Cook's tip: This is excellent served with my oven fries posted on this site. You can make either fries or the wedges/chips. They are also low in calories and fat with only 1 tablespoon of olive oil!" https://www.justapinch.com/recipe/utahn/best-oven-baked-fries/potatoes?k=oven+fries+bonnie&p=1&o=r

BEER BATTERED FISH WITH PEPPERED MALT VINEGAR

Steps:

• Pour oil into large heavy skillet or Dutch oven, filling no more than 1/3 full. Heat to 375°F on medium heat. (If using a deep fryer, follow manufacturers' instructions.) Mix malt vinegar and 1/2 teaspoon of the black pepper in a small bowl. Set aside until ready to serve.
• While oil is heating, mix flour, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, 1/2 teaspoon of the remaining black pepper, garlic powder and paprika in large bowl. Whisk in beer and egg. Let batter rest 10 minutes.
• Dry cod with paper towels and sprinkle with remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and remaining 1/2 teaspoon of the black pepper. Working in batches, dip fish into batter; allow excess to drip off. Transfer battered fish directly to hot oil. Fry 4 to 6 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through, turning halfway through. Drain on paper towel-lined plate.
• Sprinkle with additional salt, if desired and serve immediately with Peppered Malt Vinegar.

FISH AND CHIPS WITH MALT VINEGAR MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• For malt vinegar mayonnaise:
• Whisk egg yolk and 1 tablespoon vinegar in a small bowl. Whisking constantly, slowly drizzle in oil, drop by drop at first, until mayonnaise is thickened and smooth. Add remaining 1 tablespoon vinegar; season with salt and pepper. Cover and chill.
• DO AHEAD: Mayonnaise can be made 1 day ahead. Keep chilled.
• For fish and assembly:
• Fit a large pot with thermometer; pour in oil to measure 3". Heat over medium-high heat until thermometer registers 375°F.
• Meanwhile, whisk all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl. Whisking constantly, slowly add beer, club soda, and vinegar, adding more beer if batter is too thick (it should be the consistency of thin pancake batter).
• Place corn flour in a shallow bowl. Season fish with kosher salt and pepper. Dredge fish in corn flour, shaking off excess, then dip in batter, letting excess drip back into bowl. Working in batches and returning oil to 375°F between batches, fry fish until golden brown and crisp, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to paper towel-lined baking sheet.
• Season fish and fries with Old Bay, sea salt, and dill; serve with malt vinegar mayonnaise and lemon wedges.
