Friday's Fish Fry

My,Friday's Fish Fry Recipe comes from the Taste of Home Winning Recipes Cookbook.


The cookbook states that a lot of fishing takes place in their area, which makes this a good choice for a regional recipe. Check out this cookbook...

Lemon-Batter Fish is as follows:

1-1/2 cups all purpose flour, divided
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 egg beaten
2/3 cup water
2/3 cup lemon juice, divided
2 lb fish of your choice. I used haddock.

Oil for frying
Lemon Wedges, optional

In a shallow bowl, combine 1 cup flour, baking powder, salt and sugar, set aside.

Combine the egg, water and 1/3 cup lemon juice; stir into dry ingredients until smooth.

In separate shallow bowls, place remaining lemon juice and remaining flour. Dip fish in lemon juice, then flour. Dip fish in lemon juice, then flour, and then coat with the batter.

Heat 1 inch of oil in skillet, Fry fish, a few at a time over medium heat. Cook until fish flakes easily with a fork. Drain on paper towels. Garnish with Lemon if desired. Yield 5 servings.

I broke this recipe in half and make sandwiches on whole wheat bread, and tartar sauce. Very yummy...

Easy and great tasting recipe! Thanks Taste of Home.....and for all who are sharing. their treasured recipes.
