Crispy Fish Batter
This fish is so delicious, with a light and crispy batter and just a hint of cajun spice. My family absolutely loved it. Of late I haven’t been impressed with Fish and Chips from takeouts. Everything is just not made with love anymore, it is rather disappointing. Maybe I should open my own quaint little coffee shop with all my food made with love. It has been a dream of mine so maybe one day I will pluck up the courage.
Ingredients required for the Crispy Fish Batter
Cake Wheat Flour, Baking Powder, Cajun Spice, Salt, Pepper, Soda Water, Egg I used Fresh Hake Fillets for this recipe My hubby is really fussy about fish and we don’t often have deep-fried fish, it is usually grilled. But everyone said this was the best battered fish they ate, so that’s really something.
How to make the Crispy Fish Batter
Always pat the fish dry with some paper towels before dipping it in the batter. The oil must be heated well before you fry the fish but ensure the oil is not too hot because you don’t want the outside browning too quickly. If it does cook too quickly the inside of the fish won’t be cooked. I usually heat my oil and then turn it down to a medium heat and continue frying. You will need to use a shallow pan so it is easy to flip the fish over. I also suggest you cook one or two pieces of fish at a time to leave enough space in the pan to flip the fish.
Serving the Fish
You can serve the fish with some Slap Chips and Tartare Sauce. I will post a recipe for Tartare sauce shortly. Or you can serve it with some spicy rice and a salad.
