Andy135 Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 This is a favourite with our kids who prefer the higher ratio of batter to fish that nuggets offer compared with a battered fillet. You will need: 2-3 whiting 1 can Brewdog Punk IPA 3 tablespoons plain flour 3 tablespoons cornflour 500ml groundnut oil Seasoning First, make up the batter. Pour the flour and cornflour into a large bowl and whisk to aerate. Then season with S&P to taste. Add enough Punk IPA to give the consistency of thick emulsion, between one third and half a can. Whisk well. Leave the batter to stand for 10 mins or so, and in the meantime fill a shallow pan to 1/3rd full with ground nut oil. Bring to a low-medium heat, around gas mark 3. Slice your whiting fillets into chunks about 3 or 4cm square and mix into the batter. Fry for around 1 minute, maybe a little more if your whiting chunks are on the large side, then drain and serve, seasoned with S&P. Of course I like to check the quality of my cooking before serving to the kids, so here's a gratuitous greasy finger shot... 😜 GPSguru and Saintly Fish 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's to make the fish look better Geoff, what he doesn't tell us is there's 3 years worth of sizeable whiting caught right there........ 🤣 Geoff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst I knew where the Brewdog remnants would end up, there was no mention of it - hence no repeat. Geoff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I'm inclined to agree. They have a very mild taste, and that's probably why the kids like them; they're not "fishy".
