Ingredients

Fish Batter

5 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
7 Tbsp. cornstarch
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. Kosher salt
1/8 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
2/3 cup cold dark beer Guinness preferred
4 7-ounce fish fillets Thick cut halibut or black cod fillets preferred

Frying Fish

2 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
vegetable or canola oil

Instructions

Preparing The Batter

In a large bowl, mix the flour with the cornstarch, salt, pepper and baking powder.
Using a whisk, slowly add the beer to the flour mixture while stirring continuously and continue mixing until you have a thick, smooth batter. Place the batter in the fridge to rest for 1 hour.

Frying the Fish

Lay the prepared fish fillets on a paper towel and pat to dry. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
In a deep saucepan, heat the oil to 350 degrees.
In a shallow dish, add 2 tablespoons of flour. Toss each fish fillet in the flour and shake off the excess until they are lightly dusted. Dip the fillet into the prepared batter, coating the entire fillet, and immediately place gently into hot oil. Fry for approximately 8-10 minutes turning the fillets from time to time with a large slotted spoon until each piece is golden brown. Place on wire rack, season lightly with a sprinkle of kosher salt, and place into an oven on warm. Repeat with remaining fish and serve hot with a sprinkle of malt vinegar.
