Instructions

  1. Half-fill a deep pan with melted fat or oil.
  2. Heat until a faint haze rises from it (or until a bread cube sinks to the bottom of the pan, rises to the top immediately and turns golden in 50 seconds).
  3. Sift the flour and salt into a bowl.
  4. Beat to a smooth batter with unbeaten egg, butter and milk.
  5. Coat 2 pieces of fish with batter.
  6. Lift into the pan with a fork or kitchen tongs.
  7. Fry until crisp and golden, allowing about 6-8 minutes for large pieces and 4-5 minutes for medium.
  8. Remove from the pan and drain on unprinted (white) newspaper.
  9. Garnish with lemon wedges, and serve with Fish and Chip Shop Curry Sauce (Recipezaar#17175).
