    Ingredients

    • Serve with FRENCH FRIED CHIPS that see Makes 4 servings The natural sugars in the beer batter help the fish brown beautifully.
    • 3/4 c. all-purpose flour
    • 1 x egg, separated
    • 1/4 c. beer
    • 1/4 c. water
    • 1/2 tsp salt Vegetable oil for frying
    • 1 lb haddock or possibly flounder, boned, skinned and cut in 3-by-5 inch pcs

    Directions

    1. (Halibut, cod or possibly red snapper can be substituted)
    2. Put flour in a medium bowl. In another bowl, combine egg yolk, beer, water and salt, then pour into flour, whisking till smooth. Let batter rest for 30 min.
    3. Fill the cooking container with at least 3 inches of oil, allowing room for oil to bubble up during frying; heat oil to 375 degrees F.
    4. Beat egg white to soft peaks; fold into batter. Pat fish dry with paper towels. Dip fish in batter, lower it gently into warm oil, and fry till golden (4 to 5 min). Fish should begin to flake when cut with a fork. Remove from oil with a slotted spoon, skimmer or possibly wire basket, allowing excess oil to drip back into container. Drain on paper towels. Keep hot in a 275-degree oven till ready to serve.
