Tilapia Fish And Chips Recipes

CLASSIC FISH AND CHIPS

Steps:

• Place potatoes in a medium-size bowl of cold water. In a separate medium-size mixing bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Stir in the milk and egg; stir until the mixture is smooth. Let mixture stand for 20 minutes.
• Preheat the oil in a large pot or electric skillet to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Fry the potatoes in the hot oil until they are tender. Drain them on paper towels.
• Dredge the fish in the batter, one piece at a time, and place them in the hot oil. Fry until the fish is golden brown. If necessary, increase the heat to maintain the 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) temperature. Drain well on paper towels.
• Fry the potatoes again for 1 to 2 minutes for added crispness.

CRISPY BEER BATTER FISH & CHIPS

Steps:

• Whisk self-rising flour, rice flour, and baking powder together in a bowl. Freeze until ready to use.
• Pat fish as dry as possible. Cut pieces lengthwise to get eight 1-inch thick strips. Place rice flour on a plate and season with salt. Dust fish lightly with the mixture and shake off excess. Cover a plate with crinkled foil to make a quick drying rack; place fish on top.
• Heat oil in a deep-fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Pour beer into the flour mixture and whisk, adding more as needed, until batter is the consistency of thick pancake batter. Dip fish pieces into the batter to coat; lift out and let excess drip off.
• Fry fish in batches until golden brown, dunking occasionally if needed, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Serve immediately.

POTATO CHIP TILAPIA

Steps:

• Combine potato chips, parmesan cheese and garlic powder in a bowl.
• Scramble eggs.
• Rinse tilapia under tap water for a few seconds.
• Dust tilapia filets in flour (any flour will do).
• Egg wash tilapia filets, making sure the egg wash sticks to the entire filet.
• Heavily dust filets in potato chip mix.
• Place filets in freezer for 5-10 minutes.
• Remove filets from freezer to preheated oven of 350 degrees F.
• Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the coating is golden brown.

BEER BATTERED TILAPIA FISH AND CHIPS

Steps:

• Pour the canola oil into a deep pan or pot and place over a medium heat. The oil should be about 2 inches deep.
• In a bowl add 1 cup of the flour, beer, salt, pepper and paprika.
• Whisk until smooth.
• Cut the tilapia into strips and pat dry.
• Place the remaining flour onto a shallow plate.
• Bake the french fries as per the directions on the package.
• Once the oil has reached 375 degrees F, start to fry the fish.
• Roll each piece into the flour and shake off the excess.
• Next dip the fish into the batter and let the excess drip back into the bowl.
• Gently place the fish into the hot oil and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown.
• Take the fish from the oil and place on some paper towel to drain.
• You will have to do this in several stages so it's a good idea to place the cooked fish on a baking sheet to keep warm in the oven while you continue with the remaining tilapia.
• Serve with the fries, seasoned with extra salt and pepper and ketchup on the side if desired.

CRISPY CRUNCHY FISH AND CHIPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place a baking sheet in the oven to preheat.
• Using the slicing attachment on a food processor or a knife, slice the potatoes into thin discs about 1/4-inch thick. Place 1/3 of the sliced potatoes into a container with cold water and reserve for another use. Place remaining 2/3 of the potatoes in a large bowl with 2 teaspoons canola oil, salt and pepper, to taste, and toss to coat. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Transfer the potatoes to the baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes, flip each chip and bake for another 10 minutes.
• In a medium pot heat 3 cups of canola oil to 360 degrees F.
• In a large bowl combine remaining dry ingredients except 1/2 cup flour and season with salt and pepper. Whisk in the seltzer water.
• Place the remaining 1/2 cup flour on a plate or pie dish and season with salt and pepper. Dredge the tilapia in the flour, shake off excess, then dip into batter. Carefully place the battered fish into the hot oil. Working in batches so not to crowd the pot, fry for 6 minutes until golden brown. Remove to an oven-proof plate lined with papers towels or a brown paper bag. Repeat with remaining fillets. While frying remaining tilapia keep the cooked fillets warm in a preheated 250 degree F oven.
• Serve immediately with chips and Tartar Sauce on the side.
• Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and mix until well blended.
