Barracuda fish & chips

Was wondering how to cook a couple of fillets from the barracuda caught by WT during the last kelong trip... then decided to make fish and chips!

Batter-dipped fish, sotong & prawns 





Haha... you would realise from the photo that there are no fries. Yup, I was so tired after frying this plateful that I decided not to fry the chips. The batter I used this time was only so-so for the sotong and prawns, I actually prefer this recipe for deep-fried squid and this recipe for Wasabi prawns. For the fish, however, it was scrumptious!

Looks pretty good yah?



Deep-fried Fish in Beer Batter 

• 500g boneless filets of fish
• 2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp pepper
• juice of 1 lemon/ 3 limes 

• 1/2 can of beer (You can drink the rest!)
• 1 cup flour
• 1 tbs paprika (optional)

• 1/2 cup cornflour
• Oil for frying (at least 3 cups)

1. Add the salt, pepper and lemon juice to the fish and mix well.
2. Pour the beer into a large bowl. 
3. Sift the flour and paprika into the beer and whisk till evenly mixed.
4. Dredge the filets in the cornflour, dip into the batter and fry till golden brown.
5. Serve immediately with chilli sauce and mayonnaise.

Tender fish that melts in your mouth, enveloped by a crispy skin of fried beer batter... Try it!
