Ingredients
- 4 pieces (about 6 oz each) Cod fillets
- 1.5 cups Rice flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 large Egg
- 1 can (12 oz) Dairy-free beer
- 4 cups (for frying) Vegetable oil
- 1 for serving Lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. This step ensures the batter adheres better to the fish.
Step 2
In a large bowl, whisk together the rice flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika until well combined.
Step 3
In a separate small bowl, beat the egg lightly, then add it to the dry ingredients.
Step 4
Gradually whisk in the dairy-free beer, ensuring the batter is smooth and free of lumps. The consistency should be similar to pancake batter.
Step 5
Heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep pan or wok over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). A candy thermometer can help maintain the correct temperature.
Step 6
Dip each fish fillet into the batter, allowing excess batter to drip off before carefully placing the fillet into the hot oil.
Step 7
Fry the fish for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until the batter is golden brown and the fish is cooked through. Work in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Step 8
Remove the fish from the oil using a slotted spoon or tongs and drain on a wire rack or paper towels to remove excess oil.
Step 9
Serve immediately with lemon wedges and your favorite dairy-free tartar sauce or condiment.
