Roger's Beer Battered Flathead

Recipe By Courtney Roulston

Ingredients

  • 500 g Coles flathead tails

  • 1 1/3 cup Coles self-raising flour

  • 375 ml can XXXX gold beer

  • Squeaky Gate extra virgin olive oil

  • pinch sea salt to taste

  • dill to garnish

Pickled Salad

  • 1 pack Coles brand vine-ripened cherry tomatoes, sliced in half

  • 1 pack Coles tiny qukes baby cucumbers, sliced in half longways

  • 1 small red onion, sliced in thin rings

  • ½ cup malt vinegar

  • 2 tbsp Coles finest pure Canadian maple syrup

  • pinch salt and pepper to taste

Method

  • Place all the salad ingredients together in a large shallow bowl, mix gently and rest aside to absorb the juices.

  • Bring the extra virgin olive oil to a medium-high heat in a large saucepan. Place self-raising flour into a bowl and pour the beer whilst whisking slowly until the batter is a thick paste. Dip each piece of flathead tails into the batter and let residue batter drip off before placing it into the oil. Allow to fry in the oil for 2-3 minutes each side.

  • Serve the fish stacked on a serving platter with the salad to the side.
