[PrayerCoach]

Ensenada BC fish tacos are the best in the world. Google chrome sucks.

[jimjins05]

He's even done it with skullups and oyestiz.!

[Energi2DmaxX]

can't go wrong with beer

[Rosiemonster101]

[JogBird]

this is about the only food the british get right

[JugmoDude]

what kind of oil did they use? for the deep frying?

[castorel]

@JugmoDude you can use any kind of oil with a high smoking point ...sun-flower oil, palm oil, grapeseed oil etc.

[JugmoDude]

what kind of oil did they use?

[CookingRobsWay]

cool. video! I love beer battered fish. Maybe you might like some of my recipes too

[jeanmunn]

Some chef came up with " beer batter " a few years ago but here is how it is, the real secret of a crispy fish batter that STAYS crisp is mix plain old flour with some baking powder and a wee bit of salt.

Then add water,,plain old tap water,,,the secret is that it has to be ice cold and I mean ICE cold.

If you could aquire rendered beef fat to deep fry with the flavour difference is huge, and for chips Kenebec potatoes only,,,twice fried,,,fuck the cholesterol,,tastes brilliant,,really does !

[ghostofgar]

@jeanmunn Just reading your comment on fish batter.... Sorry I know it's a bit old but what do you reckon... about a teaspoon of baking powder to a cup of flour?

I'm going to do a bit of a battered haggis cook off using your batter and the batter in the video :D

[jeanmunn]

@ghostofgar No, don't use that amount,,half a teaspoon is plenty,,problem with baking powder is that if you do happen to use too much you end up with an after taste.

But as I said previously the water has to be ask cold as you can get it,,,good luck.

[ghostofgar]

@jeanmunn Cheers jean, I did make them both, overall I preferred your method... The beer batter was slightly crispier but the baking powder method stuck better and wasn't as greasy

[jeanmunn]

@ghostofgar Good, glad it worked out for you,,,God I miss my fish and chips,,,I'm about six weeks away from the start of my golf season and I'm on a very strict diet.

Good exercise, good food and a few supplements and I should be ready for opening day.

I've been pretty good I must say,,haven't even sneaked a " Big Mac " at the local McDonalds,,,fruit salad and yogurt for Sunday breakfast instead of my usual nice big fry up,,,,oh well,,have a nice day.

[CRANKYONE100]

No eggs in batter??

[jeanmunn]

@CRANKYONE100 absolutely not,,,,,eggs ? it's batter for fish you are making, not pancakes.

[rissx]

i didnt understand a word he said when he was talking about ingredients.... whats a scullup? silly english people with their different types of food.

[Abnormalproductions2]

@rissx Scallop.

[TheDefiantWookie]

So can i use this with mackerel?

[A16AdamWalker]

@TheDefiantWookie Yeah you can, tried it few times times, it's more the kind of thing you fry then dip into something, as the fillets shrink a lot

[justonefyx]

@TheDefiantWookie I imagine mackerel would be too bony, and any parts without bones would just crumble and fall apart in the batter.

[lokeradekadente81]

The beer part was too much for me to handle. I finished a 6 pack before the fish were done.

[roslee7]

what to substitute beer? coz i dont drink beer?..not necessary to put eggs?

[alpacino50kg]

@roslee7 its all good brew your not drinking it your eating it XD

[7bvlgari]

what to substitute beer? coz i dont drink beer?..not necessary to put eggs?

[kizanko]

Was i the only one who got drunk after eating this?..

[sidecrank]

The best batter comes from Palmers,at Yeovil

[Kvantasan]

try to add few spoons of crushed red pepper(if the pepper is hot it's better) to it...bon apetit :)

[ESOTERICALADEPT]

no eggs??

[eurogalncal]

Does anyone have "TV Dinners" with Hugh? Loved that show.

[tenorismo]

[SuperWahinetoa]

@tenorismo Hi. It was Ground nut oil.

[tenorismo]

@SuperWahinetoa THanks : )

[Binford2500]

@tenorismo peanut oil, the other name is "groundnut" oil.

[tenorismo]

[ekiouja]

[qoonnie]

ビールを入れるのか。パブで酔って帰って来た人が、ちょっと腹減­ったな！フィッシュ＆チップスでも作るか！ってノリで適当に飲ん­でいたビールを混ぜたら結構いけたなんてのが始まりって感じ。

[cyberpolice666]

omfg!

[Rampede]

mmm calamari

[lavakava]

fish killers!

[AZsBESTEST]

WHAT KIND OF OIL DID HE USE? THAT CLEAR ONE

[p0giboi]

@AZsBESTEST he used ground nut oil

[AZsBESTEST]

@p0giboi awww thanks for answering me.. i figured thats what he used ...i made this and it was just amazing

[CantStopWontStop818]

do you want more of a hops flavor/bitterness for this batter or can you use a regular malt liquor like Olde English 800?

[welderhondadrew]

Fuck.......now im hungry.....

[1madaboutguitar]

FAKE

[turtlewings]

ohhhh, that looks so fab.

[Magicmen91]

HI NICE RECIPE IS WONDERFUL.....

[Persadish]

The batter comes away from the fish when Im frying it up, what am I doing wrong?!

[hugmeshootme]

@Persadish try dusting the fish with a bit of flour, then allow the fish to settle for a bit on a wire rack. then proceed to dipping it in the batter and fry em up. have been doing it that way for years and have always worked for me.

[bworiginal]

The batter looks nice and easy, but I always mess up with my oil. I either get it too hot, or not hot enough. Guess I should use a thermometer?

[TheVittleVlog]

Beer and fish!!!! Perfect!

[c4manke]

What about tartar sauce?

[chilokspius]

Since México I love your acent :p

[Bennyboy087]

What oil works best to deep fry in? I have Canola or Ground Nut (Peanut) Oil.

[vicenteb86]

god it look good gkod speed im goin to try to do this

[chathura9041]

peanut oil) yeas

[heinousrynz]

What in the world is ground nut oil? Do you mean peanut oil?

[chathura9041]

I dont have nut oil, can i use veg oil.

[trailerparknut]

Excellent.Thanks heaps guys

[TrueQueen4L]

We use Corn Meal not flour Ugh!

[8TheDon]

i used this recipe for the first time ever

and it was amazing

chippie quality

[yngdiv]

Try a good scottish fish supper ?

[TanJianWei92]

the fish is tasteless without a proper marinate

Our country sells Fish n Chips

Indeed they use beer , but they let the fish marinate with beer and some seasonings and rest for few hours in fridge , take out and make fresh bread crumbs , dip on eggs , and bread crumbs again , and fried it

[XDproXD]

so its just flour oil and beer?

[1RammsteinFTW]

I loveeee this

[constantlydoped]

I think I did this wrong, and not in the correct order.

I drank the beer, snorted the flour, then ate the fish... raw!

Came out really well though!

[MYSTRD1]

lmao!!!!! im a try that RIGHT NOW!

[danbotness]

@constantlydoped

man you made my day! great comments

[havoc0357]

@constantlydoped

Dang.. I guess im not the only one.. mmmm flour

[MrTerryKay]

@constantlydoped

Really giggled at that joke mate.

Cheers.

Hic!

[jeanmunn]

@constantlydoped Ha, ha, ha !! bloody classic that comment,,,,,,,,,,hilarious.

[kevico2]

@constantlydoped That's funny!

[jugmongers]

See my video for the proper beer to mix ration. All the best - Judd Jugmonger

[dannyboy12357]

what oil do you use?

[UTubeGangstaMan]

Tried out the recipe and it worked great. I used German Weizen beer (wheat beer) and olive oil instead of nut oil. Tasted great and was very easy. Fish was very lightly battered and perfectly crispy. I often find the simpler the recipe the better it is and this is another example.

[jenniferjuniper97]

I forgot to mention I used O'Doul's Amber beer in my batter. And yes, it smelled wonderful.

[jenniferjuniper97]

This evening I made this recipe using red snapper fillets. Enjoyed fantasic results with this easy batter. Tasty and crispy. The best! Is ground-nut oil peanut oil? Peanut oil is very expensive in my area so I used canola instead. The flavor wasn't too affect by it. Thanks for creating a web presence on YouTube.

[FRANKIESHANOWSKIY2K0]

uum beer battered fish homer

simpson will love this recipe.

but i strongley advise you not to give them to young children though maybe a ginger

beer battered fish version for children would be a great idea though .

frankie smales

(ginger beer battered fish creator)

[RingOfFire1988]

why not give it to children? alcohol evaporates at lower temperatures than water.

[tainterlakeisgreen]

You'd have to drink the batter raw in order to get any reasonable alcohol. It will totally evaporate when you cook it.

[ChrisBrooker]

The alcohol gets burned away in the frying process. Plus english kids can hold their booze anyway.

[FRANKIESHANOWSKIY2K0]

ok you people finaly convince me

but it will be great as an winter festive dish though.

(youtube guru)

ps

a guru is not gay ok.

[GeorgesBarras]

@ChrisBrooker Damn right.

[sexymodelboy]

okay im going to attempt to cook this LOL

[sealteem6]

Here is a better recipe:

1 cup flour.

1 cup beer.

1 Tbs sugar

1 tsp salt

1 tsp baking powder

1 egg. This is a very good Wisconsin Friday fish fry recipe. When it comes to beer batter and fish frys, Wisconsin owns the court. Try it, you'll be glad you did.

[jsmith1257]

sounds great def gonna try it thanks!!!!!!

[futhyones]

the dreaded egg

[MisChokesOnDick]

i love river cottage

[Zebbadi]

hmmm vodka battered chicken... yumzzzz

[1stlordofrawdon]

Look hugh is a legend so go get battered !!

[RoyalQueenNai]

We use corn meal instead of flour.

[AppleSouffle]

Hmmm, I like the corn meal idea! That sounds very tasty!

It's a way of combining battered fish with hush puppies.

[BorisDay]

The alcohol would boil off in a split second. Duh!

[dizzyegg666]

yeah the alcohol will go but the beer will still leave the tast on the meal lol

[geezermeezer]

ok, everything looked pretty good until you actually served it onto the plate which looked a little messy and not really appetising, so i think you could do with more practising on your presentation.

What about a non-alcoholic beer batter?

what if someone was an alcoholic and you didnt want to fuel them with beer?

[dhillaz]

Beer batter is non-alcoholic: the alcohol evaporates.

[Spiricom]

Fair play mate!

[Energi2DmaxX]

Beer Battered Fish Tacos Anywone?

[buttlord123]

well done mate

[chubzyyy]

very helpful

[proflogger]

wat oil does he add near the start!!

[McLurker]

Groundnut oil.

[SeiyaK0u]

Nice! Gonna try it out.

[pinkzhuttz]

hmmmmm... yum!

[SpikeJonze]

BRAVO!

Good job.

[roger5845]

Nice Video! Can I ask what type of pan your using to fry in? thanks.

[SpikeJonze]

any deep pan or saucepan works

[trotchye]

Awesome!, Btw, do you say fillet as fil-let in the UK? Just curious

[droptheleash0]

yep

[cainey66]

yew we do

[LillithePink]

I made this with Plaice today. I have to say it was a tasty success. I also battered a few mushrooms and they were great too!

[gerryzzz]

I've always made batter using beer, because I don't like milk. It makes great toad-in-the-hole and yorkshire puds too.
