Beer Battered Pollock

Beer Battered Pollock

  

1 ½ lbs fresh pollock 

¾ cup all-purpose flour 

½ tsp black pepper

½ tsp choice seasonings (like cayenne, etc) optional 

12 oz. beer* 

Combine flour and pepper in a large bowl. 

Slowly pour in beer, whisking constantly until smooth. 

Dip food in batter, allow excess to drip back into bowl and drop directly into deep-fryer. 

Fry for 2 minutes or until dark golden brown, then remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels or newspaper. 

Note: If you do not have a deep fryer, use a large stock pot with plenty of space between the oil and the top of the pot. 

* Have fun experimenting with different beers for a unique twist! Pale ales and lagers are great for a traditional batter; stouts and porters for a richer taste. Avoid strong IPAs due to increased bitterness upon cooking.
