First Halibut of the Season

Halibut seasoned opened here on the West Coast

this week.

I promised Moe I would make

Fish and Chips.

So...........

.........last night's dinner.

Served with twice fried fries

and homemade tartar sauce. 

I just wing tartar sauces.

I don't like tartar sauce on my fish,

but I do like it as a dip for the fries. 

This one was mayo with a 

little 18% sour cream, chopped dill pickle,

minced garlic clove, chopped fresh dill, salt, pepper and a squeeze

of fresh lemon juice. 

The batter for the fish is a light batter

more like a tempura.

Can be made with soda water or beer.

I tend to use soda water most of the time.

Tempura Style Batter

1 cup of flour

1/2 cup corn starch

1 teaspoon baking powder

salt and pepper

1 can of soda water 

(or beer for a beer batter)

Mix dry ingredients and then whisk in

enough soda water to make a thin batter.
