Gluten-Free Fish Fry
- 2 pounds Halibut Or Other White Fish, Defrosted Or Fresh
- Frying Oil
- 1/2 cups Cornstarch
- 1/2 cups Gluten Free Or Regular Flour
- 1/4 teaspoons Baking Powder
- 1 Tablespoon Garlic Powder
- 3 whole Eggs, Separated
- 2 Tablespoons Lemon Juice
- 3/4 cups Mayonnaise
- 1/4 cups Sweet Pickle Relish
- 1/2 Tablespoons Onion Powder/granulated Onion
- 1 teaspoon Lemon Juice
- 1 teaspoon Cider Vinegar
- 1.
- Prepare fish by cutting into large chunks (mine were about 2 by 1 1/2 strips, depending on the fish shape).
- 2.
- Mix dry ingredients for the batter in a medium bowl.
- 3.
- Beat egg whites in a large bowl till soft peaks form.
- 4.
- Lightly beat egg yolks with lemon juice then combine with whites in the large bowl.
- 5.
- Heat oil in a pan or electric fryer (aim for 375 to 400 degrees ideally).
- 6.
- Meanwhile prepare tartar sauce by mixing all sauce ingredients and adjusting seasoning to taste.
- 7.
- Batter the fish and put in the heated oilfirst, coat in the flour mixture, then in the egg goop, then put in the oil.
- (Dont crowd the pan, or the fish wont cook nicely.)
- 8.
- Cook the fish until golden brown and crispy all around, then drain on a rack or paper towels before devouring with tartar sauce.
- Notes:
- Thicker pieces will take longer to cook.
- My 2x1x1 1/2 pieces took about 5 minutes to cook through, and yes, if you find a piece not quite cooked all the way, you can add more batter and fry it a bit more.
- You can use any firm fish with this recipe: cod, tilapia, swordfish, you name it.
- This is a great recipe to use freezer-burned or older fish, because frying makes the texture less of an issue.
- It also is a great way to fix fish for anyone who is not a fan of fishy fish, and a really economical way to fix other fish (cod or tilapia) if your child cant have gluten.
- You can even take frozen individual fillets of thin fish, batter them, and refreeze them on a cookie sheet so that you can take them out and cook pieces like ready-made fish sticks.
- If you need to defrost your fish, either let it thaw in the fridge, or defrost in the microwave.
- If some of it gets a little cooked in the process of microwaving, dont worry, as it wont really affect the resulting tastiness.
- If you are using another type of fish that is thinner than 1/2, you can even batter and fry them while they are still frozen!
