Cooking Tips

• Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying the haddock to ensure a crispy exterior.
• Do not overcrowd the fryer or pot with too many fillets at once, as this can lower the oil temperature and result in soggy fish.
• For an extra crispy coating, you can double-dip the haddock fillets in the batter before frying.

Storage and Serving

• Deep-fried haddock is best served immediately while it is still hot and crispy.
• If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• To reheat, place the haddock in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, or until heated through.
