You have lots of time to start and finish the fish while your fries are finishing in the oven, so no rush. Because I felt like being a bad a_s, I made a beer batter for the fish. This can get messy but its worth the clean up.
To cook the fish, use the same Shortening the fries have already cooked in. But instead of using a low heat, I turned it up on medium. Surprisingly deep fried fish can be tricky to cook. you want a crunchy but not burnt batter on the outside, but a soft moist batter on the inside. And of course you don't want to over cook your fish, you want it moist and flaky, but no pressure!
Beer Battered Fish
Ingredients:
2 haddock fresh haddock fillets from the South Shore! not bragging though!
1 Cup of rice flour
1/2 Cup panko bread crumbs
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp salt
1 tsp ground pepper
1/2 Cup of cold beer, your choice of brand (I like a dark beer, gives the batter a deeper flavor)
Instructions:
1. Mix all of the dry ingredients together in a bowl and divide into half. Keeping half of the mix in the bowl and the other half on a plate.
2. Pour the beer into the bowl with the flour mix and combine into a wet batter.
3. I find it easier to work with smaller pieces of fish, so I cut my fillets in half. Dip the fish into the beer batter then transfer to the plate and coat with the dry batter. Once all the fish has been battered place gently into the already hot vegetable shortening.
4. My fish only took about 2 Minutes per side and it came out perfect!
5. Don't forget about your fries in the oven & Enjoy!
