Beer Batter Fried Sardines And Lime Recipe
Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 1/2 c. Beer (not dark)
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/2 c. All-purpose flour
- 2 x 3 3/4 oz cans brisling sardines
- 1 x Lime
- 4 c. Vegetable oil
Directions
- In a bowl whisk beer and salt into flour till smooth. Drain sardines and pat dry. Cut lime into 8 wedges.
- In a 3 qt saucepan heat oil over moderately high heat till a deep-fat thermometer registers 375 F. Working in batches of about 8 and holding sardines at head end to avoid breaking, dredge fish in batter to coat completely, dragging lightly against side of bowl to remove excess, and fry, stirring, till golden brown, 2 to 3 min. With a slotted spoon transfer sardines as fried to paper towels to drain.
- Fry lime wedges in oil till they begin to turn golden brown, about 30 seconds, and transfer to paper towels to drain. Serve sardines with lime.
