ingredients

  • 4 pieces white fish, such as Cod
  • 1 egg white
  • 1/2 cup gluten free all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 6 ounces gluten free beer
  • 1/2 teaspoon garam masala (optional, or use whatever seasoning you like!)
  • to season salt and pepper
  • neutral oil, to fry
  • 2 floury potatoes, such as russett.
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil

Method

  • Step 1

    Preheat oven to 350. Cut cleaned potatoes into desired size sticks. You don't have to peel them, but you can!

  • Step 2

    season with salt and pepper, and drizzle with olive oil. Toss together.

  • Step 3

    Place on parchment or foil lined baking tray, with about 1" of space between each fry. Giving space allows them to get crispy, and not steam!

  • Step 4

    Bake for about 15-20 minutes, and turn once. Bake an additional 10-15 minutes, until golden brown and crispy. Season with additional salt, or garlic salt while still warm.

  • Step 5

    Season your fish on both sides with salt and pepper. It's crucial to season the fish prior to coating with batter, so it has flavor of its own!

  • Step 6

    Toss fish through a little gluten free all purpose flour to coat, shaking off excess. (this will allow batter to adhere to fish!)

  • Step 7

    Make your batter by whisking one egg white until stiff peaks form.

  • Step 8

    In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and garam masala (or other seasoning)

  • Step 9

    Pour in beer, whisking to create a medium pancake batter like consistency.

  • Step 10

    Heat about 1-2" neutral oil in a sort of deep frying pan. (I used my cast iron!)

  • Step 11

    Coat fish in batter, and shallow fry about 5 minutes per side until golden brown and crisp. Give fish a gentle shake when placed in pan, to avoid sticking to the bottom of the pan.

  • Step 12

    Remove from oil, and place on paper towel to absorb excess. Season with salt, serve with fries, and your favorite sauce.
