Ingredients of Batter Fried Fish With Cheese Sauce
- 500 grams of white fish fillets (such as cod or tilapia)
- 1 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1 egg
- 1 cup of beer
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 1 cup of grated cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup of milk

How to Make Batter Fried Fish With Cheese Sauce
- In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and beer until well combined.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk until the batter is smooth.
- Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 375°F (190°C).
- Dip each fish fillet in the batter, allowing any excess batter to drip off.
- Carefully place the fish fillets in the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-5 minutes per side.
- Remove the fish fillets from the oil with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
- To make the cheese sauce, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.
- Add the milk and grated cheddar cheese, and stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
- Season the cheese sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the batter-fried fish with the cheese sauce on the side, or drizzled over the top.
