Chip Shop Fried Fish in Crispy Batter

beer

🥗Healthier: sparkling water

💰Cheaper: club soda

Sparkling water maintains carbonation without alcohol.

all-purpose flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: cornstarch

Whole wheat flour adds fiber, while cornstarch creates a lighter batter.

Prepare the batter by mixing flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl.

Gradually whisk in beer until smooth and slightly thick.

Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F.

While the oil heats, pat the haddock fillet dry with paper towels.

Dip the haddock fillet into the batter, ensuring it's fully coated.

Carefully lower the battered haddock into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding.

Fry the haddock until golden brown, about 4-6 minutes, turning halfway through.

Remove the fish with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
