Batter-Dipped Fried Fish With Tartar Sauce

Fried fish is definitely one of the Nine Days meals my family enjoys, because it’s almost like eating schnitzel. The tartar sauce adds brightness and delicious flavor.

Directions

Prepare the Fried Fish

1. Place flour, water, egg, sugar, salt, and pepper in a blender and blend. Let rest 20 to 30 minutes.

2. Heat oil on high in a pot that is deep but not very wide. Cut fish into wedges. Dip into batter and drop carefully into very hot oil. Fry on each side until golden brown.

Tips: When frying anything, place the food on a wire rack to drain so the moisture does not build up as it cools, making it soggy instead of crispy!
