CAPTAIN D'S BATTER-DIPPED FISH



Captain D's Batter-Dipped Fish image

This is a clone that should be pretty close to the fish you get at Captain D's. I listed two optional ingredients because I ran across a recipe very similar except with a little spice added. Captains D's fish is basically a variation of Fish n Chips, so this probably something you can tweak and perfect by watching videos of fish n chips being prepared. Note: I have spoken to some and they've suggested that maybe Captain D's uses Cod. I've tried Cod and the meat just did not taste like the Captain D's in my area, so experiment with Cod, Pollock, Haddock, etc and see what works for you. Also, make sure your fish is dry. You don't want to try to make this with wet and water-logged fish. Pat it dry with a paper towel. I've known some to then rest the fish in the fridge or counter top to allow to fish to dry out some. Not using fresh fish can give you even more trouble.

I'm a big fan of battered fried fish. Add in some fries, a side of tartar sauce, and give me a bottle of malt vinegar and I'm one happy guy. This copycat of Captain D's batter dipped fish checks all my boxes.

Number Of Ingredients 8

Vegetable oil (or canola oil, for frying)
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cornstarch
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 teaspoons kosher salt (plus more, for sprinkling)
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 1/2 cups water (plus more, if needed)
2 pounds cod (fillets, cut into bite-sized chunks if desired)

Steps:

  • Heat 3" of oil in a deep fryer or Dutch oven to 350 F.
  • In a large bowl add the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt and cayenne. Whisk to combine.
  • Slowly whisk in the water. You want a pancake-like batter. If it's too thick add a bit (a very small bit!) more water and whisk.
  • Rinse and pat the fish dry. I prefer to cut mine into bite-sized pieces.
  • Working in batches, add the fish to the batter and turn to coat completely. Transfer to the oil and deep fry 3-4 minutes, turning once, until golden brown. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate. If desired, sprinkle the fish with salt.
