The secret to a good fish fry is a pancake like batter with a deep flavor of dark beer. My Gluten Free Fish Fry is so good.

Ingredients

Gluten Free Batter

  • 3/4 Cup Cornstarch
  • 3/4 Cup Rice flour
  • 1 Tsp Baking powder
  • 1/2 Tsp Salt
  • 1/2 Tsp Black pepper
  • 3/4 Whole Dark Beer (GF brand to keep recipe GF) looking for pancake consistency

Fish

  • 1 1/2 Lbs Cod cut into planks
  • 2 Tsp Salt
  • 2 Tsp Black pepper
  • 24 Ounces Vegetable oil use high smoke point

Instructions

Gluten Free Batter

  1. Combine all the dry ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Add the beer a little at a time mixing as you go. You are looking for a pancake consistency. Keeping adding the beer and mixing until the desired consistency is achieved.

Fish & Cooking

  1. Add the oil to the wok and heat to 350 degrees. I have a heat radar gun so I can monitor my oil temperature.

    While the oil is heating up, spice the fish planks. Next, drop the individual planks into the batter and let the excess batter drip off. Add directly into the hot oil. Keep repeating but plan to do the cooking in batches. Cook the fish for approximately 4 minutes. Remove from the oil and place them on a paper lined plate. Let rest for 1 - 2 minutes.

    I served my fried fish with a siracha aioli and a garlic aioli. Enjoy!
