Captain Paul’s Beer Battered Fish
Beer Battered Fish is one of my favorites. I often do this for customer’s after a fishing trip. The beer batter SEO for this recipe uses, Sea Harvest Fry Mix, a unique blend of flours. The mix includes Flour, Chinese LG Allspice, Water Chestnut Flour, Rice Flour, Tapioca Flour, Salt, Egg Powder that results in a light crispy coating. Sea Harvest can be difficult to find. It can be obtained in bulk or 5lb bags at Harvest Market in Fort Bragg. You can purchase it online from Giovanni’s Fish Market. Any fish will work. I have used it with Lingcod, Rockfish, School Striped Bass, Sturgeon, and Salmon. My favorite is a mix of Lingcod cheeks and Salmon.
