Fish and Chips, Nordic Style
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 400 g perch fillets
- Vegetable Oil for frying
For the Batter
- 200 g all purpose flour
- 200 ml beer
- 150 ml carbonated water
- 1 handful of cornflakes
- Salt and Pepper to taste
Serve with
- Cornichons
- French Fries
- Aioli or Tartar sauce
Instructions
- Place in a bowl the flour and season it with salt and pepper. Stir well.
- Add the beer and the carbonated water a little at a time and mix well with the help of a whisk to avoid forming any lumps.
- Place enough vegetable oil in a saucepan so as to be able to deep fry the perch fillets.
- Crumble the cornflakes with your hands and add them to the beer batter.*
- When the oil is hot, dip the fillets in the batter and fry them from both sides until they reach a golden color.
- Serve hot with cornichons, hot, crispy chips and aioli or tartar sauce.
Notes
* The cornflakes will in time absorb some moisture from the batter, so after a while you might need to add some more beer or carbonated water to it.
