Long John Silvers Fish 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!

Steps:

• Sift dry ingredients, corn flour, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, into a bowl.
• Add sugar and salt. Mix well.
• Slowly add beer, sparkling water, club soda or water and mix well to make a batter. Set aside.
• Add 1 cup cornstarch into a second bowl. Set aside.
• Fill a pan or skillet with about 1 inch of oil.
• Heat to medium high heat on the stove.
• When oil is hot, place piece of fish into cornstarch. Flip and roll around, pressing slightly, to coat fully and evenly.
• Immediately dip in batter. Cover completely.
• Move fish over oil and allow excess batter to dip into oil to create the "krums" as you very carefully lower fish into oil.
• Repeat with 1 or 2 more pieces of fish. Do not crowd the pan.
• Fry krums and fish to a nice golden brown. Krums will finish first, the fish should take about 5 minutes.
• With a spider strainer, remove the krums as finish and then the fish to a paper towel-covered plate or wire rack to drain.
• Repeat until all fish filets are cooked.
• If you like, drizzle the remaining batter into the hot oil to make more krums.
• Serve with Malt Vinegar.

Steps:

• NOTE: IF USING SELF-RISING FLOUR -- REDUCE SEA SALT TO 1 1/2 TEASPOONS THEN OMIT BAKING POWDER AND BAKING SODA -- AND USE REGULAR WATER INSTEAD OF CLUB SODA. FOR EASY GRINDING OF FENNEL SEED, PULSE A CLEAN SPICE MILL OR COFFEE GRINDER WITH THE CORNSTARCH AND SEA SALT UNTIL FINELY GROUND, THEN ADD TO DRY BATTER.
• THAW fresh boneless white fish if frozen; CUT filets into 3-inch x 4 inch pieces; PREPARE a light sea salt/water bath to brine fish in for 20 minutes (brine should only be "as salty as the ocean").
• POUR enough canola oil in deep-fryer to completely immerse fish in; INSERT the deep-fryer basket; PREHEAT oil slowly in gradual increments to 360°F.
• MEASURE all DRY BATTER AND DREDGING ingredients into a large bowl; WHISK mixture well until thoroughly blended; REMOVE 2 cups of mixture and transfer to another large bowl for the BATTER.
• INTO the large bowl containing the 2 cups reserved DRY BATTER, whisk in the LIQUID BATTER ingredients, without over-mixing.
• REMOVE fish from sea salt bath; BLOT fish lightly; COAT the fish very lightly on all sides with the reserved dry dredging, being careful not to tear or break fish (use a flat metal spatula to turn fish if necessary).
• DIP dredged fish in prepared batter to coat fish evenly, using a flat spatula to lift; ALLOW excess batter to drain; DROP battered fish slowly and carefully into the preheated fryer (MAKE SURE FISH DOESN'T SINK AND STICK TO BOTTOM OF FRYER BASKET; IF THIS HAPPENS, LIFT BASKET AND CAREFULLY LOOSEN FISH WITH A FLAT STAINLESS STEEL SPATULA).
• DEEP-FRY fish in preheated 360°F canola oil without overcrowding until breading is golden, and fish is tender-flaky; PLACE cooked fish on absorbent paper to drain (keep filets warmed if necessary, in a preheated 170 F oven); REPEAT frying process with remaining fish.
• ALLOW hot fried fish to cool slightly before serving; SERVE with fresh lemon slices and desired condiments -- tartar sauce, cocktail sauce, cream horseradish, hot sauce, malt vinegar.
• SERVE and enjoy!

Steps:

• In a large Dutch oven, heat 3 inches of oil. If you're using an electric tabletop fryer, fill the unit to its MAX line.
• Preheat the oil to 350 degrees over medium-high heat, using a deep-frying thermometer to check the temperature. When the oil reaches 350 degrees, reduce the heat to medium-low.
• Meanwhile, pat the fish dry with a paper towel and cut the fish into four 3-ounce portions. If you like, you can create a diamond shape by trimming off the sides. Set aside.
• In a medium-sized bowl, combine the flour, corn flour, cornstarch, MSG, paprika, garlic salt, onion powder, white pepper, baking powder, and baking soda.
• When the oil is preheated and ready to go, add the club soda to the dry batter mixture. Stir until just combined, taking care not to overmix. It's okay if there are a few clumps in the batter.
• Dip the fish into the batter, making sure it's coated on all sides. Gently drop the battered fish into the oil and fry for 3 to 5 minutes, until the exterior is golden brown.
• Remove the fish to a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess grease. Season the fish with kosher salt, to taste.
• Serve immediately.
