✅ Ingredients (Serves 4)
For the Fish:
- 4pcs Butcher Box Barramundi portions, each weighing approximately 160–180g
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 1 cup plain flour (for dredging)
Beer Batter:
- 1 cup plain flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp paprika
- 1 cup cold beer (lager or pale ale works best)
- Pinch of salt
For the Chips:
- 4 large potatoes, peeled and cut into thick chips
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Sea salt
- Optional: fresh parsley for garnish
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Prep the Chips
- Preheat oven to 200°C (or air fryer at 190°C).
- Toss the potato chips in olive oil and salt. Spread out on a tray.
- Bake/air fry for 30–40 mins, flipping halfway until golden and crispy.
2. Make the Batter
- In a large bowl, mix flour, baking powder, garlic powder, paprika, and salt.
- Gradually whisk in cold beer until the batter is smooth and slightly thick. Set aside for 10 minutes.
3. Prep the Fish
- Pat the barramundi fillets dry. Season with salt and pepper.
- Remove fish skin [optional]
- Dredge each fillet in plain flour, then dip into the beer batter.
4. Fry the Fish
- Heat oil in a deep pan to 180°C.
- Fry the fillets in batches for 4–5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
- To check if the fish is perfectly cooked when frying, remove it from the oil and insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the fillet. You're aiming for an internal temperature of 55–60°C — this ensures the fish is tender, juicy, and cooked through without drying out.
- Drain on paper towels.
5. Serve
- Plate the crispy barramundi with chips and a wedge of lemon.
- Add tartar sauce or aioli on the side for extra indulgence.
