A delightful recipe for crispy beer-battered fish, perfect for a family dinner or a casual gathering.
Combine the flour, salt, and paprika in a mixing bowl.
Mixing the dry ingredients thoroughly ensures an even flavor distribution.
Add the melted butter, egg, and beer to the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth.
Gradually add the beer to avoid lumps in the batter.
Let the batter rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.
Resting the batter allows the gluten to relax, resulting in a lighter texture.
Heat the oil in a deep fryer to 375°F (190°C).
Use a thermometer to ensure the oil reaches the correct temperature.
Dip each fish fillet into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated.
Shake off any excess batter to prevent dripping.
Fry the fish in the hot oil until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes per side.
Fry in small batches to maintain the oil temperature.
Place the fried fish on paper towels to drain excess oil.
Use a cooling rack over paper towels for better drainage.
Serve the crispy fish with your favorite sides and enjoy!
Garnish with lemon wedges and serve with tartar sauce for a classic touch.
