Gluten-Free Beer Battered Fish: tender and moist white fish inside a crunchy and crispy batter. The gluten-free beer gives it a delectable, light, and airy crisp coating. Consequently, the alcohol will cook off in the oil. It may sound like a lot of hassle to make fried fish at home but it is well worth it. A flavorful seasoned batter that creates the best crispy-fried fish. Indeed, it can be pan-fried or deep-fried. A quick and easy meal loved by young and old alike.Beer Battered Fish and some homemade Tartar sauce with a little chopped parsley.

Gluten-Free Beer Battered Fried Fish:

Nevertheless, Beer Battered Fish is quintessentially British. Therefore, if you are ever in England, I highly recommend trying to find the best Fish and Chips. I highly recommend going on Yelp. A few years ago, my family was in England, and we had the privilege of having the best fish and chips I had ever had in London. We found the restaurant by looking it up on Yelp. I am so glad to have had that experience with my kids.

What kind of Fish to use?:

The best fish for frying is really any white fish. Halibut is usually too expensive a fish to use. Cod and haddock are most often used in restaurants. However, orange roughy, flounder, or haddock would work equally as well. Of course, you can always ask at the meat counter in your local store. I highly recommend going with smaller bite-sized pieces instead of long strips. Fortunately, bite-sized pieces cook faster.

Why Use Gluten-Free Beer:

I am not really a beer drinker. However, we have a great local brewery that makes seasonal beers and gluten-free beers. Believe it or not, beer gives the batter a light, airy texture, crispy coating, and craveable flavor.

How to Make the Best Beer Batter:

Being gluten-free means that I can’t go out and have deep-fried fish in my town. However, this classic pub food can also be enjoyed gluten-free by using gluten-free beer. Needless to say, no fancy beer is needed. First and foremost, gluten-free and alcohol-free beer can be used instead.

Put the beer into the freezer for 10 minutes to make it ice cold. Next, put ice into a measuring cup and add the water. Let the water sit until the beer is removed from the freezer. Pour off the correct amount of water. Hence, this batter will make a golden and crispy outside with flaky, moist fish inside.

Make sure to pat the fish dry with a paper towel before dipping it into the dry flour, then the beer batter, and lastly frying. Serve with vinegar, lemon wedges, and tartar. I prefer a gluten-free pale beer or ale to a dark beer.

Battering The Fish

First, pour the remaining cassava flour onto a plate. To make for easier cleanup, wrap tinfoil over a half-sheet pan. Cut large pieces of fish into 2- 4-inch pieces. Pat the fish dry with a paper towel. Next, dredge fish pieces in the dry flour. Finally, dip them in the beer batter. Furthermore, allow the batter to drip off.Gluten-Free Beer Battered Fish dredged in the batter Finally, heat up 1 cup of avocado oil at a time in a deep pan.
