An Asian-inspired fruit sauce is served with the fried fish in this dinner recipe.
Ingredients
-
1 1/2-2
pounds
fresh or frozen boneless, skinless walleye, lake trout, tilapia or sole fillets, 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick
-
1 1/2
cups
all-purpose flour
-
3
tablespoons
paprika
-
1
tablespoon
kosher salt or 2 teaspoons salt
-
1
tablespoon
ground black pepper
-
2
cups
beer
-
1/2
cup
all-purpose flour
-
Shortening or cooking oil for deep-fat frying
-
Mango Sweet-and-Sour Sauce (see recipe)
-
1/2
medium
red, green and/or yellow sweet pepper, finely chopped
-
4
green onions (green tops only), cut into thin diagonal slices
Directions
-
Thaw fish, if frozen. Rinse fish; pat dry with paper towels. Cut fillets into finger-size strips.
-
In a large bowl, whisk the 1-1/2 cups flour, paprika, salt and black pepper together until well combined. Whisk in beer to make a thin batter, not much thicker than buttermilk.
-
In a shallow dish or a 9-inch pie plate, place the 1/2 cup flour. Coat (dredge) fish strips in flour and shake off excess. Dip fish into beer batter; allow excess batter to drip off fish.
-
Carefully add fish strips, 3 or 4 at a time, into deep hot fat (375 degrees F). Fry about 2 minutes or until golden brown and crisp. Drain on wire racks or on several layers of paper towels. Keep cooked fish warm on a baking sheet in a 300 degree F oven while frying remaining fish.
-
To serve, cover the bottom of 6 warmed dinner plates with 1/3 cup of the sauce. Sprinkle the red peppers and green onion tops over sauce. Place fish strips on top. Serve immediately. Makes 6 servings.
