No batter is the way to go, grill the fish it is healthier
Grilled fish is great yes. BBQ even better. And healthier. But a delicately battered piece of Barramundi every now and then is a real treat.. I love cooking Japanese tempura.
Most of the fish we buy is in steaks with a little bit of bone in the middle, cook this way - part fry part steam in its own juice - until it falls off the bone, nice 'n moist 'n tasty. Clean & simple too, with little smell & little washing up.
I eat healthily most of the time so l think l deserve a ‘Naughty but Nice’ now and again!
I just love battered cod or haddock from the fish and chip shop with just salt on the fish and wrapped separately whilst l get it home, so the fish doesn’t get soggy.
Last week, l made my own battered cod and chips. They were so nice. I made my batter with self raising flour, bit of salt and mixed with soda water. In the past, l have used tonic water.
These are the recent ones l made to show my brother and sisters via WhatsApp! I had too much batter mix so l poured the extra onto the fish, hence its thick batter...
I added peas after.
