Ingredients

• 4 pieces fresh haddock fillets
• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1.25 cups beer (dairy-free)
• 4 cups oil for frying
• 1 lemon lemon wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Begin by patting the haddock fillets dry with paper towels; this helps the batter adhere better.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.

Step 3

Slowly pour in the dairy-free beer while whisking to ensure a smooth, lump-free batter. You want it to be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, so adjust with a little extra flour or beer if needed.

Step 4

Heat the oil in a deep frying pan or pot over medium-high heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C).

Step 5

Dip each haddock fillet into the beer batter, making sure it is fully coated.

Step 6

Carefully place the battered fish into the hot oil, frying two fillets at a time to avoid overcrowding the pan.

Step 7

Cook for approximately 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the batter is golden brown and crispy. Adjust the heat as necessary to maintain the oil temperature.

Step 8

Using a slotted spoon or tongs, remove the haddock from the oil and place on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 9

Repeat with the remaining fillets.

Step 10

Serve the beer battered haddock hot with lemon wedges on the side. Enjoy!
