History lesson: It is thought that frying battered fish in oil came from the Western Sephardic Jewish immigrants from Holland. Fish and chips began in the UK in the 1860s. Less than 40 years later, there were more than 25,000 fish and chip shops all around the UK! It was an instant hit, and still is today!
Beer Substitutes:
You really don’t have to use beer. Beef broth and chicken broth would work. But my favorite substitution is soda: Sprite, Dr. Pepper, Coca Cola, and even Root Beer!
Can I use frozen fish for beer battered fish and chips?
You can use frozen fish, but you want to make sure it is completely thawed and excess moisture is blotted dry with a paper towel before cooking.
Fish Options:
Halibut and Cod are the most common fish used in fish and chips. However, you can use practically any white fish! If you like this recipe, you may be interested in these other savory fish recipes:
