Now as for the type of fish, that depends on you. As long as it is a med-hard flesh fish it will be alright. Just ask your Grocery Market for advice on it.

Here I am using walleye, but you can use cod, halibut, or panga. So with so many varieties, you really can not go wrong.

Remember that the fish as to be free of the water possible, especially if it was frozen. Us a paper towel on the bottom of the fish to absorb most of the liquid.

It is very important to flour your fish and let is sit for about 10 to 20 minutes before you fry it. This method helps the batter to stick better to the fillets and does not run off.

Go ahead and use your favourite beer, here I am using a dark beer that not only gives off an awesome flavour but a little colour to the batter.

Now for those who prefer a non-alcohol recipe, then you can use soda water instead.

I like to use a wok pot when I am frying fish, because it is narrower on the bottom and wider at the top, thus giving more cooking oil surface with a lot less quantity of oil.

Let them go until they are slightly golden brown on each side.

Have a rack ready on the side to dry off the fish portions. A trick if your fries are not ready at the same time. Keep your oven on low and put the rack into the oven to keep them warm until the fries are ready to serve together.

Season the fries when they are hot and just out of the fryer.

So crunchy on the outside and moist and tender on the inside, the perfect treat.

Please enjoy.
