Deep Fried Halibut Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Whisk eggs, milk, and flour together in a shallow bowl. Stir panko bread crumbs and seasoned bread crumbs together in another bowl.
• Gently dip halibut squares into egg mixture, the press gently into bread crumbs mixture to generously coat completely. Place breaded halibut in a single layer on a plate while breading the rest.
• Cook halibut in preheated oil until golden brown and crisp on the outside, 4 to 6 minutes.

Steps:

• Cut halibut into portion size pieces (this will vary with every family); set aside.
• In gallon ziplock bag combine all dry ingredients; seal bag and shake to mix. Add halibut pieces to dry ingredients and shake thoroughly again.
• In small bowl combine mayonnaise and mustard; mix thoroughly (secret ingredient!).
• Add some oil to skillet over med heat until oil begins to ripple. You will need to add more oil in small amounts at a time throughout cooking.
• Add halibut a few pieces at a time to skillet until full. DO NOT OVERLAP FISH. Cook until just beginning to brown on bottom side and flip. Once turned, lightly baste browned side of fish with mayonnaise mixture. Turn fish once more and repeat basting. The key to this step is to re brown basted sides of fish before removing from pan. The pieces should turn a deep brown (not black but close). That is when you know they are done.
• Serve while still hot. (May be kept in warm oven until all fish is done).

Steps:

• Whisk egg in a small bowl.
• Combine flour, herbes de Provence, seafood seasoning, salt, and black pepper in a separate small bowl.
• Cut halibut into 4 equal pieces.
• Heat olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-low heat.
• Dip each piece of halibut in whisked egg.
• Dredge all sides of each piece in flour mixture to evenly coat; tap off excess flour.
• Place coated pieces immediately in the hot olive oil.
• Cook the halibut until lightly browned, about 5 minutes; turn and cook until fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, another 2 minutes.

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Bake potatoes on a tray in hot oven for 30 to 45 minutes - until knife tender. This can be done the night before or ahead of time. Cut each potato into 6 or 8 wedges depending on the size. Heat 3 inches of oil in a deep fryer. Or you can heat 3-inches of oil in a deep pot. Begin by frying half the wedges at a time for 4 to 5 minutes until crispy and brown. Drain on paper towels and season with salt.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and cornstarch. Season the flour mixture with salt and fresh ground black pepper. Make a well in the center and gradually pour in the club soda and egg yolks whilst whisking. Work your way from the center out slowly combining the dry ingredients to form a smooth batter. Lightly coat the fillets of fish in seasoned flour then dip in batter and fry in 375 degree F oil. Fry for 4-5 minutes until crispy and golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels, then season with salt. Serve with crispy fried parsley leaves and lemon wedges.
• Prepare the tartar sauce:
• In a small mixing bowl, combine all the tartar sauce ingredients. Set aside in the refrigerator for 10 to 15 minutes before serving, to let the flavors come together.

Steps:

• Cut Halibut in to 1x1 inch chunks. Removed skin before if still on fish. It sometimes is easier to freeze the fish until solid then place in refrigerator for 24 hours and cutting while still mostly frozen.
• Mix Miracle Whip and mustard together, along with the tbsp of dill, the tsp of paprika and the 1/2 tsp of cayenne.
• Mix the flour, breadcrumbs, dill, paprika, cayenne, onion powder and pepper together.
• Coat chunks of fish in miracle whip sauce liberally then throw in to the flour mixture and toss til well coated. Lay on sheet pan until ready to fry.
• Heat oil until there are ripples but not so hot that its smoking.
• Gently set each individual chunk of fish in to hot oil. Once the side is medium brown, flip and fry the other side til evenly colored.
• Remove from oit and set on plate covered in paper napkins.
• Immediately salt lightly and serve. BBQ sauce tastes awesome with it! Or orange marmalade cooked in a saucepan with chili flakes and ginger then cooled.

Steps:

• For the tartar sauce: In a bowl, add the parsley, tarragon, shallot, and cornichon. Chop the hard boiled egg by removing the yolk and crumbling it, then dice the white. Add both yolk and whites to the bowl. Add vinegar, salt, mustard, mayonnaise, and a few dashes of hot sauce (or more to taste). Stir to combine and set aside.
• For the beer batter: In a large mixing bowl, mix the cake flour and baking soda with a fork. Slowly pour in the beer, stirring the entire time (it's okay if there are a few lumps). The batter should be thin, falling off the fork easily so it coats the fish, not heavy like pancake batter. Set aside.
• Fry the halibut: Fill a deep heavy-bottomed pan with oil-don't go higher than 2 inches from the rim-and heat to 350 degrees F. Season the halibut with salt on both sides. Test the oil by cooking a few drops of batter; they should float to the surface when the oil's hot enough. Remove these "tester crunchies" with a slotted spoon. One piece at a time, drop the fish into the beer batter, then remove it, letting the excess drip off. Then place it halfway into the oil, letting a crust form for 10 seconds, then releasing it gently into the pan. Repeat with two more pieces (three at a time), so the pan isn't overcrowded and cook each for 3-4 minutes. Remove the fish to a baking sheet fitted with a wire rack to drain any excess oil. Season with flaky sea salt and serve with tartar sauce and lemon wedges.

Steps:

• In a stock pot or electric fryer, heat oil until it is at 350 degrees. Mix 2 cups of the tempura flour with 12 ounces of non-alcoholic beer until smooth. Lightly dredge halibut in remaining (dry) tempura flour, then dip in tempura batter. Place halibut in hot oil and cook for approximately two mminutes per side, or until golden brown. Serve with Market Street tartar sauce. Market Street Tartar Sauce: Combine all of the above ingredients and refrigerate 30 minutes before serving. This recipe yields 2 servings.
