The Best Deep Fried Haddock
Description
This recipe prepares a batter combining flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, beer, dill, and black pepper to coat haddock filets. Before dipping in batter, the fish is dredged in a flour and cornstarch mix to help the batter adhere. The filets are fried in hot oil at 375°F until a medium golden brown crust forms, which usually takes about 4 minutes per side.
The frying method produces haddock with a crisp, airy crust from the beer and baking powder while the dill infuses subtle herb notes. The fish inside remains tender and flaky due to the quick frying time. After frying, the fillets rest on paper towels to drain excess oil.
This technique creates a classic battered fried fish ideal for serving with sides like fries, coleslaw, or tartar sauce to complement the crispy, flavorful fish.
