Fish Chicken Batter Recipes

LONG JOHN SILVER'S FISH BATTER RECIPE (+ SECRET INGREDIENT)

Steps:

• First, make the batter by combining all of the dry ingredients. Mix together.
• Add club soda and mix until combined. Batter's done!
• Pat dry 1 pound of cod fillet with a paper towel. Removing its excess liquid will reduce splatter as you fry it.
• Place two pieces of cod fillet into the batter. Let them sit for a few minutes so the batter thoroughly coats the fish.
• While the fillet's are sitting in the batter, fill up a small cast-iron skillet with oil until it is 1/2 to 3/4 inches deep. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350 degrees Fahrenheit. This will take about 5-10 minutes. Use a deep-frying thermometer so you know when you've hit 350 degrees F.
• Place two pieces of battered fish into the skillet and fry for 3-4 minutes. Do not over-crowd the skillet as this will lower the oil's temperature.
• Flip the fish over and fry for another 3-4 minutes or until golden brown.
• Transfer the fillets into a plate lined with paper towels. This will help get rid of excess oil.
• Let the oil reach 350 degrees Fahrenheit before adding the next batch of fish. Repeat until you've fried the entire pound of cod fillets.
• Enjoy!
