Ingredients

• 4 pieces haddock fillets
• 1 cup tapioca flour
• 1 cup almond flour
• 0.25 cup coconut flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 can paleo-friendly beer (or sparkling water as a substitute)
• 2 large eggs
• 2 cups lard or avocado oil
• 1 to taste fresh lemon wedges

Directions

Step 1

Begin by patting the haddock fillets dry with paper towels. This step is crucial to ensure the batter adheres properly to the fish.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the tapioca flour, almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until evenly combined.

Step 3

In a separate smaller bowl, lightly beat the eggs.

Step 4

Open the can of paleo beer or sparkling water and gradually add it to the dry ingredients while whisking, aiming for a smooth, thick batter.

Step 5

Add the beaten eggs into the batter and stir until fully incorporated. If needed, add more beer or sparkling water to maintain a thick but pourable consistency.

Step 6

Heat the lard or avocado oil in a deep skillet or dutch oven over medium-high heat. The oil should be about 350°F (175°C) for optimal frying.

Step 7

Once the oil is hot, dip each haddock fillet into the batter, ensuring it is completely coated, then carefully lower it into the hot oil.

Step 8

Fry the fillets in batches to avoid crowding the pan, cooking each for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 9

Remove the fried fish from the oil and drain on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.

Step 10

Serve the Paleo Beer Battered Haddock immediately with fresh lemon wedges for squeezing over the top.
