beer-battered lake perch

2016-09-24

Breaded lake perch fillets are my latest selection from walleyedirect.com. They’re not my favorite, but Marielos likes them well enough.  I prefer thicker fish for breading and deep-frying. When I eat fish, I prefer to eat fish, not mostly batter.

The recipe is simple enough. I Spanish-fried the fish in a small saucepan with 1” of oil instead of a deep-fryer. I didn't want to use a lot of oil. After frying fish the oil is imo no good for further use and needs to be thrown out.

The recipe for the Beer Batter isn't listed here.

INGREDIENTS

This is what you need for 2 servings:

  • up to 2 lb. breaded fish fillets
    I discard most of the batter after frying
  • fry-cut potatoes
  • cooking oil
