| Now that is game season is upon us, I just wanted to try something different. Being we are all fish lovers here, I decided to beer batter some Mahi Mahi, then add our favorite tomato sauce, mozzarella a What a great new addition to our appetizers! |
1 cup of all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon of each, parsley, oregano, basil
2 tablespoons of paprika
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons black pepper
1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
1 egg
1 12 ounce can or bottle of beer
2 quarts of cooking oil for frying: heat to around 375
1 jar of favorite marinara sauce or make homemade marinara click here
1 package shredded whole milk mozzarella
grated parmesan
2 pounds of firm white fish such as Mahi Mahi, Snapper, or other preferred white fish cut into small chunks
Combine all dry ingredients, add egg then beer beat till smooth. Dip fish chunks in batter and fry in hot oil until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
On a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper, place fried chunks of mahi on the sheet. Spoon favorite marinara sauce on top, add shredded cheese. Place in oven on 400 just till cheese melts. Sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese and serve.
What an original recipe! I've never tried a similar combination of ingredients to cook fish. Your appetizer looks really tasty. Bye, have a great day
ReplyDeleteYes!Great way to have fish as appetizer.And a tasty one(althhough I do not know that fish) I love the look of it;)
ReplyDeleteI love it when the fish are biting but I love it more when the fish are bites with tomato sauce and cheese.
ReplyDeleteA very delicate and refined dish :).
ReplyDeleteMi piace questa ricetta e mi piace tanto la presentazione!! Farei un figurone.... un abbraccio e buonissima serata
ReplyDeleteThese batter fried fish chunks look great, the pictures are very appealing.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if you used a bland American lager or a malty microbrew.
It's impossible for me to fry fish without the obligatory hush puppies. Everyone demands it.
Perfect Game Day snack. These look so delicious.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great appetizer! Love that you've topped it with cheese and marinara...yummy!
ReplyDeleteLove that coating. I could eat the plate! Wish Mahi Mahi was more accessible here... dreaming Florida dreams...
ReplyDeleteway to go, this sounds excellent, love that batter and then the marinara and gooey cheese, oh goodness - touchdown
ReplyDeleteA very original and tasty appetizer!
ReplyDeleteThat's a fun twist and they sound delicious! You're very creative. How were they?
ReplyDeleteI must admit, I've never had cheese on fish. I have a feeling I've been missing out!
ReplyDeleteThese sound delicious and I'm sure they would disappear at my table. I really like the clarity of your recipe and I suspect it produces a memorable appetizer. I hope you are having a great day. Blessings...Mary
ReplyDeleteClaudia, this is amazing!
ReplyDeleteAs a matter of fact, the last time I had a lovely dish with mahi mahi was when I was last in Florida. I've, never made it in my cucina...gotta change that.
ReplyDeleteYour beer batter would be perfectly versatile towards any of my other favourite fishes. Thanks ;o)
Have a great weekend,
Claudia
Such a fabulous high protein appetizer!

ReplyDeleteThese are really terrific, Claudia! I love appetizers that are healthy and delicious and it's not always the easiest thing to achieve! Nicely done!
ReplyDeleteThis looks great as an appetizer. I'm always looking for bite-size things to take to potlucks. I'm in a co-ed fraternity and we have a MILLION potlucks.
ReplyDeleteThese look PERFECT
