Hi All,
Apart from Curry my other great love is fishing.
I decided ages ago to open an online store selling fishing lures.....so if anyone is a fisherman out there then have a look and if you fancy puchasing some lures just add the comment 'CR0.co.uk' to the comments box when you check out and ill include a free lure.

Thanks,
Stew

I am a carp/coarse fisherman but have always fancied a bash at some pike fishing.
I know where to get the lures now :)
Just had a fun weekend pulling carp, rudd and perch out of a small lake.
My mate was catching small perch on a tiny Mepps spinner, great fun.

Due to all the bad weather Ive only just got out wreaking off the south coast... heres one of the smaller cod of the day caught about 18 in total :)
about 60 cod landed on the boat along with black bream, mackerel, whiting, and a few dog fish and fantastic day.
i can see a fish curry coming on!! 8)

200ml plain white flour
250ml beer - becks best (fizzy)
0.5 tsp bicarb
0.5 turmeric *
0.5 tsp cracked pepper
1 tsp salt
Mix all together then add beer a bit at a time until you have a runny batter and Wisk until smooth
*Makes a nice golden colour when oil is new - used oil omit
Heat oil to 200 / 210.0c and drop battered fish into oil and cook for about 5 - 6 mins turn once half way.
Simple, Enjoy.

Thanks UB!

UB,
I finally got around to trying this tonight, and I don't know what went wrong. The batter wouldn't stick to the fish, only about a third actually stayed on. I ended up with fried fish and lumps of crispy batter!
When you say bicarb, you mean baking soda, not baking powder, right? Maybe there was too much beer in the mixture.
Any ideas? Your BIR recipes are great. Hope your chippy ones aren't duff!
Cheers,
Josh

Arh thats a disappointment.
Not sure. maybe my beer measurement is a bit to generous.
Perhaps a few things to note:
- Fish will need to be padded dry with kitchen paper.
- Mixture needs to runny, smooth and sticky - dip finger into mixture should come out and stay coved.
- Pour Beer into mixing bowl while whisking until you have the above.
- Oil must be hot.
Dont give up mate you will enjoy ;)
Bicarbonate of Soda [baking soda] helps release carbon dioxide to aid a light batter.
Not baking powder but that wouldn't make much difference and can be used as a substitute.
I have a freezer full of Cod and ill be doing this again soon.. i will pay more attention to my efforts and get back maybe with some mixture pics.
All the best UB

Hmm. I did the things you mentioned. It was like the batter was so fine and thin, it was more like a glaze, that easily came off.
BTW I deep fried the cod in a pot with hot oil. When I dropped the battered fish into the pot, they sunk right to the bottom, and I assume the batter stuck to the bottom of the pan. Upon prying the fish from the bottom, I immediately lost half the batter right there.
Maybe its my frying method. You mention "turning" the fish. Do you shallow fry them in a skillet?

No deep fry.. The batted fish floats so you will need to turn over.
shouldn't sink at all??
-
Mine sunk right away. It seemed to float after a little bit, but I already had the ruin the batter by this point scraping it off the bottom.

I can only think that the oil wasn't hot enough??
i use a sugar/jam thermometer
-
Yep, that's probably it. I only have a meat thermometer that doesn't go high enough to work with. Will try again...
