battered fish
Pub dinner staple
Battered fish is fish coated in a flour-based batter and deep-fried until crispy.
It's the centerpiece of British fish and chips, traditionally made with cod or haddock.
The batter—often made with beer or sparkling water for lightness—creates a golden, crunchy shell around the flaky flesh: We stopped for battered fish and mushy peas.
