Beer Batter Fish & Chips

Updated: Aug 29, 2019


Classic beer-soaked steak fries and whitefish battered and baked (not fried), in an amazing beer batter. This beer batter recipe is also perfect for shrimp, chicken, fish, veggies, and onion rings. It’s thick enough to dip in and bake with little pooling beneath your food.

Four 6 oz Whitefish fillets (like cod, haddock, or grouper)

1 lemon


To make Beer Soaked Chips:

  • 1 16oz bag frozen Steak Fries

  • 1 12 oz bottle preferred beer ( I recommend Guinness Blonde)

  • 2 TBSN onion powder

  • 2 TBSN garlic powder

  • 2 TBSN ground Dill

  • 1 TBSN seasoned salt

  • 1 TBSN smoked paprika



To make Beer Batter:

  • 2 cup preferred all purpose flour

  • 1 egg, beaten

  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

  • 2 teaspoons dried parsley

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning

  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1 cup buttermilk

  • 1/2 cup preferred beer (my preferred beer is Guinness Extra Stout)
