Guinness batter Fish and (Baked) Chips - St. Patrick's Day Edition I don't think I need to tell you what day it is, do I? It's time to get your green on!!!!!

I decided to make something simple and a common delicacy to our friends across the pond. Fish and chips. It's good food. Rather than making the usually batter, I decided to make it into Guinness batter fish and baked chips. I fish of choice here are some nice fillets of cod, but you can use any white fish you like, like haddock or tilapia. I bake up the fries first. That would give me time to cook up the fish.

I make the batter and pan-fry the pieces. It's usually deep-fried, but I try as much as possible to avoid it when possible. I like how the batter has a creamy-like texture to is and you can definitely taste the beer after it's been cooked. It's a nice flavor to the fish. Make sure you have yourself a pint of Guinness today.
 Guinness batter Fish and (Baked) Chips

2 fillet of cod, haddock, tilapia (any white fish)
1 c flour (plus extra for dredging)
1/4 c water
2/3 c Guinness Stout
Canola or peanut oil

Baked Chips
3 russet potatoes
3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Preheat your oven to 400˚F

Cut the potatoes lengthwise into thin or thick sticks. You may peel them if you desire. Place the cut potatoes into a bowl or large ziplock bag and add the salt, pepper, paprika, and olive oil. Toss together and coat evenly. Place the sticks on a lightly greased baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes until crisp. For extra crispiness, you can place the chips into the broiler for a minute or two. When the chips are done baking, remove from the pan and season lightly with a little salt.

While the chips bakes, cook the fish. In a bowl combine the flour, salt, pepper, water. Lightly stir to combine. Then add the Guinness. Mix well removing any clumps. Set aside and prep the fillets.

At this time preheat enough oil to cover the bottom of a skillet. You may cut your fish into sizable pieces. Season with salt and pepper and dredge the pieces in some all-purpose flour. Place the dredged pieces in the batter. When the oil is really hot, slowly and carefully place the fish and pan-fry for 2-3 minutes per side. Place the fish on a paper towel to drain any excess oil.

Serve together and enjoy with some malt vinegar, ketchup, or your preferred dip. Posted by Jenn Tags: alcohol, fish Heavenly Housewife said...

Fish and chips is one of my all time favorites. I am surprised you got it so crispy and you didn't have to fry it.
Happy st patricks day.

That is one great dish. My husband loves corned beef and cabbage so we'll be having that tonight but I would much rather have your fish and chips!

Hey, that Guinness bottle looks almost empty! 8-D

I LOVE fish & chips but my deep fear of deep frying (and my total failures when I have worked up the nerve) means that we don't have it very often. You make it look and sound easy, though, so I may give it a try! Happy St. Pat's Day!

I haven't tried making fish and chips...I just buy from my fave resto when I'm craving, I guess I'll have to try making my own one of these days..

I never made this, but am very tempted after seeing yours.

March 17, 2010 at 8:03 AM 
Nice! My husband would be thrilled if I made this for him tonight.

Fish n' chips is one of my favorite St. Paddy's day dishes. And malt vinegar is a must!!

March 17, 2010 at 9:59 AM

March 17, 2010 at 10:29 AM 
That looks wicked good. I might just have to do that with the other piece of tilapia I have in the freezer.

I love fish and chips! But I have mine with lemonade to help digest all the greasiness.

March 17, 2010 at 12:11 PM 
Hah, I will not be getting my green beer on today, but I could come around for some fish and baked chips! Looks great as usual - you always know how to give a healthy twist to an unhealthy favorite!

Nice one! I've heard of beer batter fish but not with Guinness, sounds interesting.

I didn't have any Guinness today, but I would have felt better about it eating this and knowing it was baked. Sounds sooo good.

YUM! I'm in the process on catching up with everything I missed last week... and I had to stop in and tell you how amazing this looks. And, it's baked? Amazing! Even though St. Patty's day has come and gone, I will be giving this a try!
