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... 😜
