Ingredients

  • 1 pound fresh or frozen cod or halibut fillets

  • ½ cup all-purpose flour

  • cup fat-free milk

  • cup ale or nonalcoholic beer

  • 1 egg or 1/4 cup refrigerated or frozen egg product, thawed

  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt

  • Dash freshly ground black pepper

  • ½ cup canola oil

  • Malt vinegar

  • 1 sprig Fried Parsley (optional, see Tip)

Directions

  1. Thaw fish, if frozen. Set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, milk, ale, egg, salt and pepper until combined. Cover and chill batter for 30 minutes.

  2. Preheat oven to 250 degrees F. Rinse fish under cold running water; pat dry with paper towels. Cut fish crosswise into eight pieces. In an 8-inch skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat for 2 minutes.

  3. Dip four pieces of the fish in the batter, turning to coat and letting excess batter drip off. Fry the fish pieces in the hot oil about 4 minutes or until golden brown and fish flakes easily when tested with a fork, turning once. Transfer fried fish to paper towels; let stand to drain. Place fish on a baking sheet; keep warm in the oven. Repeat with remaining fish pieces.

  4. Serve fish with malt vinegar and, if desired, garnish with Fried Parsley.

Tips

Tip: After cooking fish in the oil, add several sprigs of fresh flat-leaf parsley to the hot oil. Cook until parsley is no longer bubbly. Using a slotted spoon, remove parsley from oil. Drain on paper towels.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
