How to make the best fish burger.

I get a ton of question on how to make the best fish burger. I’ll put the most frequently asked questions and answers!

Q: What is the best type of fish to use for a burger?

A: For me personally, and this is with massive bias – the best fish is haddock. It’s super flakey, not overly fishy and fries really really well. It’s a pretty cheap fish – you could use any white flakey fish you have but haddock is going to be your best bet.

Q: Whats the best beer to use in a batter?

A: Ideally you want something light. A crispy domestic beer is going to be your best bet.

Q: What is the best oil to fry with?

A: The answer to this is always canola. It has the hight smoke point, you’ll be able to get it nice and high, without smoking out your house.

  • Preheat fryer to 365.
  • Now batter time. In a bowl add in the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and beaten egg. Whisk together. Next up, pour in a tall can of beer and whisk mixture together until smooth.

  • Go the extra mile and toast the buns and assemble the burgers. ENJOY!
