Beer Battered Sole with Sweet Potato Fries and Broccoli Slaw

First, I know frying food is really a no no, but once in a while you just crave that flavor. Tonight was time to spoil my family with a fish fry, beer battered, fish fry.



A little heads up, this one is messy, you are going to get gooey and there is no way around it, so enjoy it.

Here we go!
You will need 10 sole fish fillets.
3 cups of sifted flour
1 beer
1 tbsp of roasted garlic and red pepper
1 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp cayenne
1 tsp la grille spicy shake
1 cup vegetable oil

Tartar sauce:
1/2 cup mayonnaise, 2 tbsps pickle relish and 1/4 tsp cayenne~ mix well and chill until ready to serve

Combine beer and 1 cup of sifted flour, mix till smooth

Pat dry fillets before dipping them in beer and flour mixture

In another pan, combine remaining 2 cups of sifted  flour and spices
Dip fillets in beer mixture, then dredge through flour and spice mixture
This is where is gets messy. I found using a fork instead of my fingers made for easier handling. 


Pour vegetable oil in cast iron pan, heat oil until small bubbles appear.
Place fish in pan and cook until coating is brown and fillets are flaky, a metal spatula works best for flipping.


Served with baked sweet potato fries and broccoli slaw.

 Enjoy!
