Kan Win Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 ^ Beer-battered fish & chips Aussie style Nothing says it's Friday night batter than fish and chips, and this recipe, which calls for beer in the batter, is just the thing to get you in the mood for the weekend. Preparation Time 20 minutes Cooking Time 60 minutes Ingredients (serves 4) 4 large (about 200g each) unpeeled desiree potatoes, cut into wedges 2 tsp olive oil 225g (1 1/2 cups) self-raising flour 1 egg, lightly whisked 375ml (1 1/2 cups) chilled light beer and a few bottles to drink whist cooking Salt & freshly ground black pepper Vegetable oil, to deep-fry 8 (about 120g each) white fish fillets (such as flathead or whiting) Sea salt flakes, to serve Lemon wedges, to serve Tartare sauce 1 egg yolk 1 tbs fresh lemon juice 2 tsp mustard powder 250ml (1 cup) light olive oil 2 tbs drained capers, finely chopped 8 baby gherkins (cornichons), finely chopped 2 green shallots, ends trimmed, finely chopped 2 tbs finely chopped fresh continental parsley 1 tbs finely chopped fresh dill 2 tbs finely chopped fresh chives Salt & freshly ground black pepper Method Preheat oven to 200°C. Line a baking tray with non-stick baking paper. Place potato on tray. Drizzle with olive oil. Cook in oven, turning occasionally, for 40 minutes or until golden brown. Meanwhile, place flour in a bowl. Add the egg and stir to combine. Gradually whisk in the beer until batter is smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and place in the fridge for 30 minutes to rest. To make the tartare sauce, place the egg yolk, lemon juice and mustard powder in the bowl of a food processor and process until mixture thickens. With the motor running, add the oil in a thin steady stream until mixture is creamy. Transfer to a bowl. Add capers, gherkin, shallot, parsley, dill and chives and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Add enough vegetable oil to a large saucepan to reach a depth of 8cm. Heat to 190°C over high heat (when oil is ready a cube of bread will turn golden brown in 10 seconds). Dip 2 pieces of fish, 1 at a time, into batter to coat. Drain off excess. Deep-fry for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and cooked. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel. Repeat, in 3 more batches, with remaining fish and batter, reheating oil between batches. Divide fish and chips among serving plates. Season with sea salt flakes. Serve with tartare sauce and lemon wedges. Note : No mushy peas. Yours truly, Kan Win P.S. The Islander is not bad for Fish & Chips served with Garden Peas and Tartare sauce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it is either beer battered or not. Thanks for the recipe, but does anyone out there actually have an oven? Maybe them rich folks do, but I sure don't.

Actually, beer batter IS the Australian style. Pan fried or breadcrumbed is less common (When ordering Fish and chips). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattias33 Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 I don´t know what is australian style or English style when it comes to fish and chips. I always got served a plate with fish, chips and tartarsauce. Thats it! The nara garden in banrak (left side at the end of the village heading towards the airport) has a tasteful fish and the tartar sauce taste good to. There´s a place in maenam, on the left side 15 meters after the lights, that i forgot the name of, that also has very good fish and chips. To my taste. I never had it at billabong, but that would probably qualify as Australian style since it is a Aussie place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
