It’s a great time of the year to level up your skills and master cooking fish at home. So, here are my simplest methods for cooking juicy, flakey fish in a few different varieties, in your home kitchen like a pro. Enjoy!

Heston's Fish Batter
Ingredients
- 100g (about 3.5 oz) bread flour
- 100g (about 3.5 oz) rice flour
- ½ tbsp (7.5ml) baking powder
- 1 tbsp (15ml) honey
- 150ml (about 5 fl oz) vodka
- 150ml (about 5 fl oz) beer
Method
1. Add the dry ingredients to a bowl and create a well in the centre. Pour the wet ingredients (honey, vodka, and beer) into the well, and whisk until just combined. It's crucial to avoid overmixing to ensure the batter remains light and crispy.
2. Lightly dust your fish with a bit of flour, then dip it into the batter, ensuring an even coat before frying.

Hi Andy, adding alcohol as a water replacements makes the fried batter more crispy vs a fully water batter. While in the batter, the alcohol will still work as a 'wetting' agent. But upon frying, the alcohol will evaporate and the crust will be more crispy when compared to a full water batter from which less moisture will evaporate. A 40% proof (80 proof for the Americans here), you'll have 40% less water to evaporate vs 100% water. Alcohol evaporates at a lower temperature than water (78 Celsius vs 100 Celsius / approx 173 F vs 212 F).

@bensmith7536 2 ай бұрын

ok thats cool, i never thought of the water content being replaced with alcohol, makes perfect sense.

@hailongnguyen7356 2 ай бұрын

i often see people using beer as the wet ingredient for the batter, that totally makes sense

@walterp8945 2 ай бұрын

@hailongnguyen7356 The beer will also add additional taste. Another option is to use batter made from fermented dough. Works well for my sourdough starter left over.

@nikiTricoteuse 2 ай бұрын

That's brilliant. Thanks so much for explaining "the why" (and as a bonus explaining the different in alcohol proofs). I've heard of people using vodka in pastry as it apparently adds extra flakiness. I guess because of the alcohol evaporating. I believe the beer is mostly for flavour as there's a few recipes around for "cheat" bread that uses baking powder as its raising agent and beer as it's liquid, to make it taste like yeast bread.

It's also a very common ingredient with Tempura techniques in Japan (which is what Heston was researching with his In Search of Perfection recipe. As well as adding a few cubes of ice to make absolutely sure the gluten doesnt develop (but i don't think the ice is completely necessary

Hey Andy! Me and my dad love watching you're videos! We are from Sweden and we would love to see your take on one or two Swedish classic dishes! The cuisine is called husmanskost and my favorites are: Biff Rydberg, Meatballs with masshed potatoes and pickled cucumber, and pytt I panna! We both think that the Swedish kitchen is under represented in the world! Thank you Andy and keep up the good work!

@vaazig 2 ай бұрын

Pytt i panna is one of these dishes from history that was all about using up good scraps. Its delicious. There is another Swedish dish as well: lapskojs. It's comfort food, plain and simple.

Greetings from Sweden. I must comment on your way of cooking fish. I believe we have the tradition in all of the Nordic countries and it is that we cook our fish at much lower temp than you are. 120° Celsius in the oven and we consider the fish being ready when it reaches 48-52° Celsius or just when it starts flaking. Often when you eat fish in other countries we feel the fish is quite dry. Not sure if it is tradition or if our fish coming from our cold water in North Sea react differently when it’s cooked. Otherwise we love your show up here as well! 😊😊

It's going to lower the temperature of the boiling liquid coming out of the batter, too. I wonder if that doesn't help because the batter cooks more before the fish, without having to use too high an oil temperature.

Thanks Andy! I’m looking forward to trying your crispy whole fish. I usually also add diced tomatoes and a sprig of thyme when poaching fish. Just that with some toast, rice or pasta makes an easy meal. (When in doubt and super lazy I season it, wrap it in foil with some butter and shallots or onions, and pop it on a tray in the toaster oven. It’s done in minutes. I guess it’s similar to your fish in a bag)
