Ingredients

  • 330ml beer
  • 2 cups plain flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 4 tsp salt and cayenne pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1  pounds fresh haddock fillets, cut into 1 inch-thick strips
  • 3 -4 cups vegetable oil, for frying
  • Non brewed vinegar is best (only available in chip shops)
  • Tartare sauce

Instructions

  • Make the batter in a bowl
  • Keep some of the dry flour mix to dip first
  • Season the cod with salt.
  • Heat the oil in a large pot fitted with a deep-fry thermometer. We like to use a Dutch oven, or similar.
  • Dip, dip, fry. Dip each piece of fish in the flour mixture, then the beer batter, and then fry.
  • Work in batches, and transfer the cooked fish to a paper towel-lined plate.
