300ml beer..whatever you have to hand |
8oz flour |
1 tsp salt |
flour for dusting fish |

homemade deep fried chips |
homemade tartare sauce(see recipe) |
Directions:
1. Dissolve the yeast with a little of the beer
2. Once it has mixed to a paste, slowly add the rest of the beer, stirring continuously
3. Sieve the flour & salt into a bowl and make a well in the centre
4. Pour in the beer & yeast mix & whisk into a batter
5. Leave covered for about an hour at room temp before using
6. Dust the cod with flour, coat with the beer batter & fry until golden
7. Serve with homemade tartare sauce, homemade chips & a good cold beer & as you feel you are being aquainted with an old friend, a good rendition of 'old lang zyne' might be go down well too:-))
