👨🍳 Instrukcje
- 1
Prepare the Ensalada Chilena: In a bowl, combine the sliced tomatoes, red onion, and chopped cilantro. Drizzle with olive oil and white wine vinegar. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Gently toss and set aside to allow flavors to meld.

Prepare the batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Gradually whisk in the cold beer or sparkling water until a smooth, thick batter forms. It should be the consistency of pancake batter.

Heat the oil: Pour vegetable oil into a deep, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven to a depth of about 3 inches. Heat over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure the correct temperature.
- 4
Fry the fish: Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels. Dip each fillet into the batter, ensuring it's fully coated. Carefully place the battered fish into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for 3-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the fish from the oil and place on a wire rack set over a baking sheet to drain excess oil.

Serve: Serve the hot, crispy fried fish immediately with the prepared Ensalada Chilena on the side. Optionally, serve with lemon wedges.
💡 Wskazówki profesjonalistów
- ✓Ensure the oil is at the correct temperature for crispy fish. Too low and it will be greasy; too high and it will burn before cooking through.
- ✓Do not overcrowd the pot when frying, as this will lower the oil temperature and result in soggy fish.
- ✓For an extra crispy batter, use very cold beer or sparkling water.
