The chef rates this meal: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Why this recipe works
The Adventure-Q is perfect for frying, producing beautifully crisp beer-battered fish with light, crunchy coating every time. Pair it with golden chips, a fresh salad and a squeeze of lemon for a classic fish and chips meal that’s just as good on the road as it is at home.
Hayley’s notes
We’re lucky enough to have a fisherman Dad in our house, so this meal is on the menu at least once a week. Fresh fish makes all the difference, but this recipe works beautifully with your favourite white fish fillets.
Time
Preparation: 15 minutes
Cook time: 20 minutes
Ingredients
- 300–500g fish fillets (flathead or mulloway work beautifully)
- 1 packet frozen chips
- ¾ cup plain flour
- ¾ cup cornflour
- Pinch of bicarb soda
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- ½ cold beer (enough to make a smooth batter)
- 1 litre vegetable oil
- Green salad, to serve
- Lemon wedges, to serve
- Tartare sauce (optional)
Taste test notes
The batter cooks up beautifully light and crispy while the fish stays flaky and tender inside. Served with crunchy chips, a fresh salad and a squeeze of lemon, it’s everything you want from a classic fish and chips dinner.
Method
- In a bowl, combine the plain flour, cornflour, bicarb soda, salt and pepper.
- Cut the fish into pieces approximately 5cm x 2cm.
- Gradually whisk the cold beer into the flour mixture until you have a smooth batter with a semi-runny consistency, similar to pancake batter.
- Pour the vegetable oil into the Daymo Adventure-Q and heat over medium-high until it reaches frying temperature.
- Cook the frozen chips until golden brown. Remove carefully and drain on paper towel.
- Dip each piece of fish into the batter, allowing any excess to drip away.
- Carefully lower the battered fish into the hot oil and cook until golden brown, crispy and cooked through.
- Drain the fish briefly before serving.
- Serve immediately with the hot chips, green salad, lemon wedges and tartare sauce if desired.
Enjoy!
