Deep Fried Halibut

For this deep fried halibut, I like to go ahead and remove the skin and bones and then cut my Halibut up in to serving size pieces. If you are using a skillet or dutch oven to fry in make to use a thermomter to chech the tempature of the oil. Add just a few piece of Halibut at a time, so you won't cool the oil down.

I use canola oil to fry most of my fish because it is cost effective. If you don't mind spending more peanut oil is great for frying fish.

Ingredients

4 (6-8 oz.) Halibut Steaks about 2 lbs
1/2 cup flour
2 tablespoons Old bay seasoning

Beer Batter

6 oz. Milk
1 1/2 cup All-purpose Flour

1 Egg Yolk
1 oz. Olive Oil

Rinse and pat dry the halibut
To make the batter: In a large bowl and the milk, beer, egg yolk and olive oil, whisk to mix throughly, sift in the flour and mix well
In a small bowl mix the flour and Old bay seasoning together
Dredge Halibut Steaks in seasoned flour, pat in on fish to remove excess flour
Dip flour coated fish into batter, let excess drip off and slowly add to hot oil.
