Deep Fried Fish

Directions

1. 1
   Half-fill a deep pan with melted fat or oil. Heat until a faint haze rises from it (or until a bread cube sinks to the bottom of the pan, rises to the top immediately and turns golden in 50 seconds).

   Sift the flour and salt into a bowl.
3. 3
   Beat to a smooth batter, unbeaten egg, butter and milk. Then add the flour and salt mixture.
4. 4
   Coat 2 pieces of fish with batter.
5. 5
   Lift into the pan with a fork or kitchen tongs.
6. 6
   Fry until crisp and golden, allowing about 6-8 minutes for large pieces and 4-5 minutes for medium.
7. 7
   Remove from the pan and drain on absorbent kitchen paper.
8. 8
   Repeat with the remaining fish.
9. 9
   Garnish with lemon wedges.
