My husband ranks this recipe as one of his favorites. A lot of fishing takes place in our area, which makes this a good choice for a regional recipe. Ingredients:
1-1/2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour, divided |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
3/4 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon sugar |
1 egg, lightly beaten |
2/3 cup water |
2/3 cup lemon juice, divided |
2 pounds perch or walleye fillets, cut into serving-size pieces |
oil for frying |
lemon wedges, optional |
Directions:
1. In a shallow bowl, combine 1 cup flour, baking powder, salt and sugar; set aside. Combine the egg, water and 1/3 cup lemon juice; stir into dry ingredients until smooth.
2. In separate shallow bowls, place remaining lemon juice and remaining flour. Dip fillets in lemon juice, then flour, and then coat with the batter.
3. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat 1 in. of oil. Fry fish, a few fillets at a time, for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and fish flakes easily with a fork. Drain on paper towels. Garnish with lemon if desired. Yield: 5 servings.
