Description
Enjoy these delicious crispy beer-battered fish sandwiches topped with homemade tartar sauce and fresh lettuce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 white fish fillets (such as cod or haddock)
- to taste Kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1¼ cups cold beer (choose your favorite)
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- to taste Vegetable oil (for deep frying)
- 4 brioche buns
- ½ recipe homemade tartar sauce (click for recipe)
- 4 leaves fresh lettuce
Instructions
- Pat dry the fish fillets and lightly season with salt. Sprinkle with cornstarch on both sides and make sure that they are completely coated. Set aside.
- In a shallow mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Slowly pour in the cold beer while stirring until you achieve a smooth and thick batter. Afterward, stir in the baking powder and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat enough vegetable oil to submerge the fish fillets. Heat the oil to 350°F (175°C).
- Coat the fish fillets in the batter and carefully place them into the hot oil.
- Fry for approximately 4-5 minutes on each side or until the fish turns golden brown and easily flakes with a fork. Once fried, transfer the fish fillets to a paper towel-lined plate to remove any excess oil.
- Lightly toast the brioche buns in the skillet or on a griddle until they are slightly crispy.
- Spread tartar sauce on the bottom half of each bun and add fresh lettuce. Place a fried fish fillet on top, and generously spoon more of your homemade tartar sauce over the fish.
- Close the sandwiches and serve immediately, along with your choice of side dishes, such as coleslaw, potato chips, or a simple garden salad.
Notes
- Ensure the oil is at the right temperature for frying to achieve a crispy texture.
- Feel free to add additional toppings like pickles or tomatoes for extra flavor.
