Instructions
Prepare the Fish:
- Pat fish dry and season with salt and pepper. Lightly dredge each piece in flour, shaking off excess.
Make the Beer Batter:
- In a bowl, whisk together 1 cup flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, and beer until smooth. The batter should be slightly thick but pourable.
Fry the Fish:
- Heat 2–3 inches of oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- Dip each fillet into the batter, letting excess drip off, then gently lower into the oil. Fry in batches until golden and crispy, about 4–5 minutes per piece.
- Drain on paper towels.
Make the Fries:
- Peel and cut 3 potatotes into fries.
- Cover them with cold water and let them rest for 20 minutes.
- Remove from water and pat dry.
- Fry in 350°F oil for 4-5 minutes or until crispy and golden.
Serve:
- Lay fried fish on newspaper or parchment. Drizzle with Aji Verde or serve it on the side for dipping.
- Garnish with lime wedges and crumbled cotija.
