Snapper with beer-battered zucchini fries

Cooking Fish Snapper with beer-battered zucchini fries

Fish and chips have been completed reinvented in this spicy fried snapper with crisp zucchini fries version.

  1. Preheat oven to 150°C.
  2. Whisk together egg, flour, lager and a pinch of salt in a bowl – the batter will be a little lumpy. Stand for 5 minutes.
  3. Half-fill a deep-fryer or large pan with sunflower oil and heat to 190°C (a cube of bread will turn golden in 30 seconds when the oil is hot enough). In batches, dip zucchini into batter, allowing any excess to drip off, then deep-fry for 2-3 minutes until golden and crisp. Drain on paper towel, then transfer to a baking tray and keep warm in the oven while you cook the fish.
  4. Heat oil in a large non-stick frypan over medium-high heat. Season fish, then cook, skin-side down, for 4 minutes or until crisp. Turn and cook for a further 2 minutes or until just cooked.
  5. Place the mayonnaise in a small bowl and swirl in the harissa, if using.
  6. Scatter fries with salt, then serve with snapper, mayonnaise, salad and lemon.
