Ingredients Directions

Ingredients

1 1 /2 lb hook-and-line-caught Nova Scotia haddock

2 cups flour

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/4 tsp pepper

13-14 oz beer

Vegetable oil, for frying

4 small beets, thinly sliced

2 small sweet potatoes, thinly sliced

4 parsnips, peeled and thinly sliced

Lemon wedges, to serve

Directions

1. Heat 1 to 2 inches of oil in a heavy bottom pan or cast iron skillet until it reaches 375°F.

2. Stir together flour with spices. Set aside 1/2 cup of flour mixture.

3. Mix the remaining flour with the beer into a thick batter.

4. Dip the fish into the flour then the batter and gently slide into the oil. Fry 4 to 5 minutes, turning once, until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on a wire rack.

5. Working in batches so as not to crowd the pan, fry beets until they are deep red and crisp, about 5 minutes. Drain on paper towel and season with salt. Repeat with sweet potatoes and parsnips.
