Long John Silvers Fish Batter Recipe Secret Ingredient

LONG JOHN SILVER'S BATTERED FISH RECIPE

Steps:

• Sift dry ingredients, corn flour, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, into a bowl.
• Add sugar and salt. Mix well.
• Slowly add beer, sparkling water, club soda or water and mix well to make a batter. Set aside.
• Add 1 cup cornstarch into a second bowl. Set aside.
• Fill a pan or skillet with about 1 inch of oil.
• Heat to medium high heat on the stove.
• When oil is hot, place piece of fish into cornstarch. Flip and roll around, pressing slightly, to coat fully and evenly.
• Immediately dip in batter. Cover completely.
• Move fish over oil and allow excess batter to dip into oil to create the "krums" as you very carefully lower fish into oil.
• Repeat with 1 or 2 more pieces of fish. Do not crowd the pan.
• Fry krums and fish to a nice golden brown. Krums will finish first, the fish should take about 5 minutes.
• With a spider strainer, remove the krums as finish and then the fish to a paper towel-covered plate or wire rack to drain.
• Repeat until all fish filets are cooked.
• If you like, drizzle the remaining batter into the hot oil to make more krums.
• Serve with Malt Vinegar.
