Kibbeling is common Dutch street food, it includes little bits of fish soaked in batter that are deep fried and served with a dipping sauce. Initially kibbeling was made from cod cheeks, thus the name: 'kabeljauwwang' ended up being 'kibbeling' for many years.
Nowadays even cod fillet is too pricey, so other white fish like pollock, hake, whiting, haddock or perhaps fresh water fishes like tilapia and pangasius are made use of. You can make a more sustainable option when preparing this fish treat in your home.
Plaice pieces make a great option, and are at their plumpest in the summer season.
� 2 eggs
� 1 tsp salt
� 1 tsp pepper
� Oil to deep fry in
� 150 gram flour
� 200 ml milk
� 50 ml water or beer
� Fish spice mix
� Sauce of choice
2. Pre-heat the deep fryer to 170-180C.
3. Include the fish to the batter, stir around carefully.
4. Thoroughly move the fish pieces one by one into the hot oil.
5. Do not overcrowd the pan, this will certainly drop the temperature level of the oil too much, triggering the batter to be soggy instead of crisp.
6. When golden brown, scoop them out with a slotted spoon and place in a bowl with some paper kitchen towel to obtain rid of the excess fat.
7. Bake the remainder of the fish the very same method (the batch size depends upon the size of your deep fryer).
8. Scoop the smidgens of batter that came loose from the fish out of the oil between the batches, otherwise they will certainly burn and adhere to the new batch, which is not extremely yummy.
9. Transfer to a serving bowl, sprinkle with fish spice mix, and serve hot with a dipping sauce.
