My family loves fish & chips from the 'chippie'.....but recently it has become far too expensive & we have been dissapointed a few times by the quality of the food. So, here we have the recipe I came up with to satisfy the family when they fancy fish 'n' chips. You can use any white fish fillet you prefer. I like to cut mine into 5 strips so they cook quicker & fit a bit better in my small fryer! If you have any batter left over, it makes great onion rings too...... Ingredients:
3 medium fish fillets |
4 1/2 ounces self raising flour |
6 fluid ounces skim milk |
1 egg |
1 tablespoon butter, melted |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon cajun seasoning |
oil (for frying, i like sunflower oil for this) |
plain flour, for dusting |
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 180°C.
2. In a 10 x 3 plastic tub, place the flour, egg, salt, seasoning, milk & melted butter. Blend really well using an immersion blender - or liquidize & pour into the tub. (The tub just makes it easier to apply the batter to the fish.).
3. Rinse your fillets & cut into 5 pieces. Dust each piece with a little flour.
4. Heat your fryer to approximately 180 - 190°C.
5. Dip the fillerts one by one in the batter & coat both sides evenly.
6. When the oil has reached the correct temp, gently lay one fillet at a time onto the top of the oil.
7. Cook until golden brown on both sides - takes me about 4-5 mins, then remove & place on a tray with a wire rack (I use the grill pan) in the oven to stay crisp & hot.
8. Repeat with the remaining fish.
9. Serve with chunky chips, peas (mushy is best!) & lots of salt & vinegar - .
