Curtis Stone - Beer Battered Fish & Chips

As my gal is quite a big fan of fish & chips, I decided to try out this Beer Battered Fish & Chips for her. I have always ordered this Beer Battered Fish & Chips if I see it in menu when I go to restaurants. You will never go wrong cos most of the times, it is usually yummilicious.

I was browsing thru the Curtis Stone recipes then u saw this. As I wanted to submit for Cooking Like A Star, featuring Curtis Stone thus was browsing. I actually bookmarked 2 recipes for it. Another is the Southern Fried Chix, which I am serving alongside my Fish & Chips.

For the chips, I cheated a bit. I used ready frozen chips. Hahah~ So I am only left with marinating & frying the fish, Chix for dinner. Yummy..

Verdict: NEVER use fruit beer for this beer batter, it taste weird, slightly bitter and the fruity taste lingers. All gave me thumbs down and I feel so sorry that I never justify the recipe. As for the skin, it turns soggy very fast after cooling down. It must be serve warm, right after you cook it.

I am submitting this to Cook Like A Star, featured chef is Curtis Stone organized by Zoe from Bake For Happy Kids together with co-hosts, Baby Sumo from Eat Your Heart Out and Grace from Life Can Be Simple.
