Beer Battered Fish
Shrimp Boil
To a large pot or Dutch oven, add water, lemon wedges, onion, garlic and old bay seasoning. Give the mixture a quick stir, bring to a boil over medium-high heat and add the potatoes. Season with salt and cook the potatoes for 10-12 minutes or until they’re almost done. Add the corn ears and sausage, and cook for 4-5 more minutes. Remove the Dutch oven from heat. Add the raw shrimp and cook for 1-2 minutes or until opaque. Be very careful not to overcook the shrimp. Drain the mixture immediately (reserving 1/2 cup of the broth for serving). Place all of the ingredients on a platter or sheet pan, drizzle with melted butter (and some of the reserved broth if desired), lemon juice, sprinkle with additional Old Bay seasoning, ground black pepper and garnish with chopped parsley. n Sometimes the most delicious way to enjoy seafood is in dip form in a hollowed-out bread loaf. The crab, sour cream and cream cheese combination is a tasteful trifecta of flavor.
2 tablespoons lemon juice Pat salmon dry, then season with salt, pepper, paprika and blackening seasoning (if using). Set aside. Adjust oven rack to middle position, then preheat broiler. Add butter and oil to a large, oven-safe skillet over med-high heat. Once butter is melted, add garlic, water, soy sauce, sriracha, honey and lemon juice and cook 30 seconds or so, until sauce is heated through. Add salmon, skin side down (if using salmon with skin), and cook 3 minutes. While salmon cooks, baste frequently with sauce from the pan by spooning it over the top of the salmon. Broil salmon for 5-6 minutes, basting with sauce once during the broil, until salmon is caramelized and cooked to desired doneness. Garnish with minced parsley if desired.
Who doesn’t love a salmon filet? It’s heart-healthy and delicious. This recipe calls for a honey-glaze on the salmon which add a spectacular splash of sweetness.

https://www.savoryexperiments.com/fish-fry-beer-battered-fish/ 2 quarts vegetable oil, for frying 24 ounces cod fish fillets, cut into 8 pieces 1-1/2 cups flour, divided 1 tablespoon garlic powder 1 tablespoon paprika 1 teaspoon baking soda 2 teaspoons fine sea salt 2 teaspoons ground black pepper 1 egg, lightly beaten 12 ounces light beer tartar sauce cocktail sauce Heat oil in a deep fryer to 365 degrees. If you don’t have a deep fryer, you can use a large Dutch oven or cast iron skillet. Rinse fish and pat dry. Leave whole or cut into smaller pieces. Combine 1 cup flour, garlic powder, paprika, fine sea salt, baking soda, ground black pepper in a shallow dish, stirring to combine. Stir egg into dry ingredients. Gradually mix light beer until a thin batter is formed. Toss filets in 1/2 cup flour and tap off excess, this helps the batter stick. Dip fish fillets into the batter and immediately drop into hot oil. Work in batches to not crowd the pan. Turn once to ensure all sides are lightly brown and crispy, approximately 3-4 minutes per batch (although this will be dependent on the thickness of your filets as well). Transfer to a wire rack on a backing sheet to drain. Set into a hot oven to keep warm. Serve with cocktail or tartar sauce.
