Fish and chips batter recipe -

[Redlinerobert]

Last night I made dinner for my girlfriend.  I found this recipe online and the fish came out pretty good!  I wont go into details of making the fries, since I am sure most of you here know how to do that

1.5 cups of flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

2 teaspoons McCormicks cajun spice

2 teaspoons tabasco sauce

1 cold beer.

6 filets cod.

extra flour for filets

vegetable oil for frying filets

Preheat oil in deep saucepan, a couple inches of depth is good.  Mix flour, baking powder, and cajun spice together in a large bowl.  Make a crater in the middle and add beer.  Use a swisher to mix ingredients.  Add tabasco, swish some more.  Once it looks like pancake batter, let it sit in the fridge for a good 15 minutes.

Prepare filets by slicing them into strips, about an inch and  half across, 3 to 4 inches long.  This makes it easier to fry them.  Make sure you feel filets for any bones, cutting them out.  If you slice filets the long way, the lateral line is where you iwll typically only find the bones.

Rinse the filets in water and get a second large bowl with flour in it.  Dip the filets in flour then dip the filets in the batter mixture, allowing any excess batter to fall off before you place filets in the hot oil.  fry til they are golden brown and have a bowl ready with paper towels or newspaper to let the fish drain any excess oil.  enjoy with french fries, tartar sauce, and a nice cold beer.
