• Ready In: 40mins
• Ingredients: 7
• Yields: 4 Fish Sticks
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 4 cod fish fillets (or haddock or Talapia)
• 1 cup flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 (8 fluid ounce) dark beer
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1⁄2 cup flour (extra for dredging)
• 2 cups oil (Costco Mediterranean blend)

directions

1. Heat oil using low-medium heat in medium pan.
2. Use extra flour to lightly but completely coat fish. Use a freezer bag and shake or put flour on plate and dredge.
3. Put flour, baking of soda, into bowl or large pan. Add the beer gradually, stop when you have a thick coating type of batter.
4. Whisk thoroughly until it is smooth and there are no lumps.
5. Add the lemon juice.
6. Take one fillet of fish at a time and holding it by the tail or thin end, swirl it around the batter until well coated - plunge into hot fat immediately.
7. As soon as it has crisped up and set, add your other fillets one at a time, taking out the first ones as they cook - about 6 to 10 minutes depending on the thickness, flipping half way through. Place onto a tray and keep warm in the oven.
