Description
A delicious recipe for crispy beer-battered halibut, perfect for a seafood feast.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ pounds halibut fillets, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup cold beer (lager or ale)
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Lemon wedges for serving
- Tartar sauce for serving
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually add the cold beer, stirring until the batter is smooth and well combined. Let the batter rest for about 10 minutes.
- While the batter rests, heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F.
- Dip each piece of halibut into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off. Carefully place the battered fish into the hot oil, working in batches to avoid overcrowding.
- Fry the halibut for about 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fish to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve the crispy beer-battered halibut hot with lemon wedges and tartar sauce on the side.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a teaspoon of paprika or cayenne pepper to the batter.
- Substitute the halibut with cod or haddock for a different taste and texture.
