RECIPE FOR BEER BATTERED FISH AND ONION RINGS

Preheat fresh oil to 350-365 degrees. 0ne inch deep. Do not get oil too hot or outside will burn and fish will be uncooked!

2 cups All-Purpose Flour
(OR 1 cup All purpose Flour and 1 cup Cornstarch!)
1-1/2 Teaspoons of Baking Powder

1/4 to 1/2 Teaspoon Paprika (optional)
1-1/2 teaspoons salt

Mix together with fork or whisk.

Add: 14-16 ounces of Light Beer OR Soda Water as a substitute!


Stir mixture and add a bit more beer to make a thin batter if needed.

Pieces of completely thawed fish or shrimp. Pat off all water.

Lightly salt fish. Dust fish in all purpose flour.
Dip in batter. Let excess drip off.

Slowly add fish to oil away from you so hot oil doesn’t splash on you.

Cook slowly and do not flip until fish begins to lightly brown.
Flip fish.
Continue cooking until lightly browned.
Drain on rack.

SERVE IMMEDIATELY!!!! Or it will steam the beer batter and it may get soggy.

You can use remaining batter for onion rings!

Lightly dust onion slice rings with flour. Dip in beer batter and fry until golden!

  • i agree i was born in 1960 in the u.k..best years 60s and 70s..our chip shops served them in newspaper and was the best ever..your battered fish looks amazing...im on it...thanks
  • YES!!!It was a fun time in the 60;'s and '70's. I feel bad for kids today, my grandchildren don't know what fun is. I just turned 70. I just stumbled across your channel, the food looks amazing!

    I have never seen anyone use an electric skillet to fry food before. It's brilliant! I can't believe I haven't thought to do that before. It has a built-in temp control, plenty of room to fry more than two things at a time, and it can be used for more than one purpose. I'm so happy I found your channel.

    I love beer battered fish, I have never made beer battered onion rings or shrimp! I also grew up in the early 50''s 60's and 70's lol! Fish has always and will always be my favorite meal! I enjoyed your video, I make my batter very thin and dump in all my fish in at once and leave them in there till the previous batch has cooked, then i just take out enough for another batch! I need to catch some fresh Blue Gill and Crappie so I can cook some more! Ty for sharing!!

    Such a delight, Janice!! To hear of your history growing up was the icing on the cake - or the batter on the fish in this case. Pete - a Kiwi in London,, xx
  • I add the malt vinegar to it and it's really really good. Thanks a lot! Looks great😊
  • In the Deep South we Always deep fry the Potatoes last in the oil, what that does is clarify the oil and removes fishy, shrimpy smell and taste ... Been doing that for well over 50 years .. learned it from my Mamaw.❤️

    Fish and chips are at the top of my list! It looks so delicious. I wish I could have a piece right now. Thank you.

    My daughter lives in England and your fish and chips are better than the 200 year old pub down the street! Can't wait to fix them for her when she comes for a visit. - delish - I'm in the 60-70's club too!

    Great tutorial Girl , I’m going to try this with catfish fillets, as well !!!! I’ve been making beer battered fish for years , and it has gotten a boat load of Compliments, and I never used self rising flour . I’m sure that self rising flour is good for the recipe , but it isn’t necessary . Mine is always light and crispy , as well .

    Hello...First time watching. I'm not a seafood lover of any seafood except tuna salad and it has to be white Albacore in water and Beer battered Cod. So thank you for an easy recipe. God Bless Bye from Ohio🌹
