Market Street Fish and Chips (Serves 2)
6 2-ounce pieces fresh halibut, boned and skinned
1 cup tempura flour
1-1 ½ cups of regular beer or non-alcoholic beer (preferably Odules)
Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of the tempura flour on a plate and set aside. Mix the remaining flour with the beer, creating a batter similar in consistency to waffle or pancake batter.
Bring the deep fryer to 350 degrees. Dredge the halibut in the tempura flour on the plate, then dip into batter. Using tongs, dip each piece of halibut into the fryer, one at a time, holding the halibut below the surface of the oil for 5 seconds before releasing. Cook for 4-5 minutes, turn and cook until golden brown.
Serve with French fries or cole slaw.
