Ingredients
- 4 fillets White fish fillets (such as cod, haddock, or pollock)
- 1 cup Tapioca flour
- 1 tablespoon Coconut flour
- 1 cup Paleo-friendly beer substitute (such as kombucha or sparkling water)
- 1 Egg
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 cups Coconut oil (for frying)
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the fish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine the tapioca flour, coconut flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and paleo-friendly beer substitute until well combined.
Step 4
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until the batter has a smooth consistency. It should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Step 5
Heat the coconut oil in a large pan over medium-high heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C). You'll know it's ready when a small piece of batter dropped into the oil begins to fry immediately.
Step 6
Dip each fish fillet into the batter, ensuring it's completely covered, and carefully place it into the hot oil.
Step 7
Fry the fish for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the batter is golden brown and the fish is cooked through.
Step 8
Remove the fish from the oil and transfer it to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 9
Serve the fish immediately, garnished with lemon wedges and fresh herbs if desired.
