So my family is on a
HUGE health kick. We have done this before, but we are now determined to make
it a lifestyle; howwwwwwever, we still have tons of food that will NOT be on
our list in our house and WE DO NOT WASTE FOOD lol! We decided to give some food away, but eat the rest and
start fresh in August. With that said, I saw some leftover cornmeal, half jar
of jerk seasoning we use, and a beer bottle and created a recipe last night! I
have been getting good with creating things in the kitchen in the last year so
I decided to share my newest recipe with you!
Patrice’s Beer
Battered Fried Jerk Fish
(Still trying to think of a cooler name)
10-12 pieces of de-boned fish (I prefer Pollock)
Oil (For frying)
Beer Batter Mix
½ Cup of Walkerson’s Traditional Jamaican Jerk Seasoning (Your
preference to use Mild or Hot & Spicy)
2 eggs
1 Cup of Beer
Dash of salt
Fry Batter mix
3 cups of cornmeal
2 cups of flour
Season salt (about ½ cup)
Pepper (2 Table spoons)
1. Rinse thawed fish and place to the side
2. Heat skillet with oil, or start deep fryer (I
cheat and use the deep fryer lol)
3. Prepare Fry Batter Mix; use a large Ziploc bag
and combine cornmeal, flour, season salt, and pepper. Use Season salt and
pepper to your discretion- I pour enough to make flour and cornmeal look LIGHT
red and well mixed with pepper.
4. Prepare Beer Batter Mix; mix jerk seasoning,
eggs, beer together in a separate bowl. Add a dash of salt.
5. Dip pieces of fish into the Beer Batter mix then
Fry Batter Mix and place into a separate bowl. Continue until a fish is coated.
6. Fry fish- 1 ½ min on each side in skillet, 3 minutes in deep fryer
7. Drain by placing fish on paper towel-lined plate
and Serve.
This was so good, I may have to bring this back when we have a "Cheat Day". Hope you enjoy! I got no complaints from my family...and in my *Olivia from The Cosby Show voice* "We are still alive!" lol :-)
Here is a pic (This was all that was left):
