Long John Silver's Battered Fish with Crumbs!!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 сен 2024
- It took me a couple tries to get this right but it's as close as it'll ever get! Based on a recipe found online, I added to it to include spices listed in the ingredient listing for LJS's batter. You can also use this on chicken or shrimp. And the audio on my camera is failing, thus the text/music.
What you'll need:
1 lb cod filets (I bought 'filets' but they are more like pieces)
3/4 cup AP flour
2 Tbsp corn starch
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp salt (could use 1/2 tsp but it's also seasoning the fish)
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/8 tsp garlic powder
1/8 tsp paprika
3/4 cup club soda (can also use plain water if you wish)
Mix dry ingredients together. Add club soda and mix well. Dredge cod in batter and fry in 350* oil. Done!

thank you I used swai fish and my mouth is happily poppin I didn't have onion powder tho I used Schweppes ginger ale I'll not ever go to long john silvers again I'm in heaven yummy omg thank you 5/9/17 UPDATE: this recipe is BOMB however i flour coated the fish THEN put it in the batter SOOOOOO BOMB!!!!!!!!
It's 2021 and I'm here for you, can't wait to TRY IT!!! ♥️
"dont forget the crumbs!!" lol i love LJS! Cant wait to try this!
Just made this and it was awesome. The better half loved it. She wanted to say thank you. I made it the exact way you did. 5 star!!!!
Excited to try this! I read all the reviews, and nobody commented on this. The one thing that makes LJS fish spectacular is "Malt Vinegar" (for novices, this is a TOPPING, not an ingredient). I love tartar sauce as much as the next guy. But LJS fish demands malt vinegar. They used to sell bottles of their own brand (packaged by Heinz). Now they've switched to bottles of the same "Heinz Malt Vinegar" you can buy in almost any grocery store (not in the vinegar area, but with the mustard and ketchup). This fish is a beautiful flavor just by itself. But I promise anybody who's scared, try some Malt Vinegar, and it will change your "fried fish eatin' life" forever.
timoteo 2001 malt vinegar is typically for the chips.
@@neilyaremchuk6798it is for the fish too! And it is quite delicious
Music and text only is great for recipe vids. thanks for uploading this!
I'm gonna try this for onion rings
I tried your recipe tonight with some fresh shrimp I caught. Turned out awesome! Thank you for posting.
It really helps to chill the batter, makes it stick to the fish gloriously!!
FanOF THE ALMIGHTY GOD batter should remain cold. Ice cubes in the batter help.
Cold beer and ice in batter.
Also, most people use fresh oil to fry these. Problem is that LJS uses the same oil to fry everything so you get the flavors of the fish, chicken, hush puppies, fries, shrimp, etc in everything. That is missing when you make these at home. Hope it helps.
So true.
Yep! Just make sure your chicken is cut thin so it cooks before the batter is too brown.
I got a great big question.... Will this recipe work in a fry daddy?
Thank you for the recipe. It tasted just like LJS. I used 1 cup of club soda vice 3/4 of a cup. Excellent tasting fish.
Omg I love the way you cook.
That fish looks so light and crispy.
I made this recipe last night and the fish was nice and crispy and stayed that way all through dinner. Some recipes I've tried in the past start out crisp but go soggy as they cool off. My husband is not crazy about fish but he snarfed this meal! I also swapped out the paprika for cayenne pepper. Very tasty!
helpfulnatural this is the downfall of home based frying. Fish and chicken tend to get soggy faster. Try a little less flour and a little more cornstarch to your batter. Also, let air cool on a wire rack and not a paper towel after frying. Eat right away.
Thanks a lot! I never knew why my batter would always fall off my fish, after refrigerating. Now I know that I should let my fish sit in the batter for a while before frying.
Worked very well. I used it tonight on sliced eggplant, mushrooms, and precooked shrimp.
I like that it's a one-bowl recipe with no multiple dipping and it doesn't require eggs. Next time I'll increase the onion, garlic, and paprika because I like more of a kick.
If you're making this for one person, cut the recipe to 1/4 or 1/3. Otherwise, it's good enough you'll want to eat it all, whether you're that hungry or not. I made 2/3 recipe and I could have been satisfied with a third of that.
BTW, does anyone know if you can refrigerate any leftover batter and use it a day or three later?
Of course you can
Music and text, it works! Very fun to watch. Thank you!
I ate LJS as a child in Ohio but not too many restaurants where I now live in NC. Thanks for sharing!
Same here when I lived in California I used to eat there all the time but then I moved to New York and they barely have any so disappointing. 😩
You're absolutely correct. The oil they use is flavored by all the other things they fry up so no real way to get that authentic taste absolutely right on. With that being said though, this is as close as I can get to it. Perhaps if I fried up some shrimp and chicken and hush puppies and clams then it would be right on. Have to choose our battles though...
😂🤣 I was thinking of doing exactly that. Matter of fact, when I do this, I will come back here and give some feedback. Except for the clams, I don't do those.
But the flavor will change for sure, but I'm still scratching my head on which oil to start with. ???
Oh I love that you even did the crumbs lol....I love the crumbs!!! I liked the music too, very festive! Looks so delish!
A Maker for sure =) Looks just like it too. I could eat just the crumbs by themselves .. yummy .. I always ask for the extra crunchies.. ahaha
LOVE HOW YOU GOT STRAIGHT TO THE POINT
Awesome bro. Love long John's fried fish will do this soon
Thanks for the feedback! Glad you liked it!
I've never eaten at long John silvers but this was a great change to frying fish with corn meal. I just added pepper to my mix, thanks for another great recipe
Oh my goodness! I love Cod fish especially LJS style! I’m definitely going to try this recipe too! TFS
I am using this recipe tonight for Some mushrooms that I found. They are Chicken if the Woods. It should be great
Just cooked some cod using this batter recipe. It was excellent.
Thanks for the feedback! Glad your hubby liked it!
I do this exact recipe except I use water not club soda. It always comes out perfect.
They really DO taste as good as they look! ;-)
That's a beautiful thing! Yummy!
ive been using this a little over a year now and my fish is always amazing!!!!!
ive done it with whiting and some other kind...
thanks..
Your explanation of the recipe is so easy to follow. Family loved it. Thank you and keep up the great work, it's appreciated.
Well thank you. Glad your family enjoyed!!
I can't wait to try this..I love Long John Silver's.
This was the real deal, copycat of the classic long John silver's fish recipe. I put beer instead of club soda and it was divine.Thank you for taking the time on making this video.
Love the recipe - Love the music - Thank you for sharing😊
Thanks for the feedback! Glad you enjoyed!
Holy cow!!! I just did a test on this to see if I could make it for dinner tonight and it is freaking good. I used regular water so all I need for tonight is the club soda...Thanx!!
I'm thinking the Club Soda would make the finished batter more light, airy, with better taste than just water. I'm actually really only asking..... How did it turn out when you used the club soda compared to the water?
Thank you.
Just made this - tastes just like LJS fish and was all gobbled up. It is light and crunchy just like we like it. Awesome!
add beer and then you have beer batter the English version instead of club soda, except you shouldn't pat the fish dry, dredge in flour then batter, makes a difference in the end
James G. Exactly. Helps the batter cling to the fish.
@@neilyaremchuk6798 I was taught to dunk in egg before batter
awesome! TY...love the music by the way, very cute ;o)
Thank you very much for your quick respond, I didn't think of the lemon flavor you are right, in that case I may try the PERRIER water, it is almost impossible to find club soda in Philippines in most cases they don't even know what it is, again thank you very much, I enjoyed watching it keep up with good recipes.
Use that same water and marinade beef meats that are known to be more "tougher", and it will make it 172% more tender. I promise.
I love this recipe! I used the leftover batter for onion rings and they were delicious too! This is going to be a regular recipe in our house. Replace the soda for beer and it gets better 😉
what kind of beer did you use?
Did you warm your beer? Or does it matter
@@chilidog1 we just used budweiser because that's all we had. I tried with corona and it still tastes about the same
@@healthhollow7218 cold beer makes it super crispy!
@@nicoledixon3730 thank you! I have to try that for sure 😃
Wow, easy peasy and cannot wait to try it! 😋I also wanna try doing a buffalo style version, but I'll use flounder for the buffalo style version 😋😋 thanks for sharing 💜
I love this music in the background
To me it does but it depends on who you ask. It has all the same ingredients that LJS lists in their batter but play with the spice amounts until it gets to where you want it.
@beccawitch Give it a try and let me know how ya like it!
THANK YOU!!!! I have been craving Long John Silver's duh, I can just make some! Thank you so much for sharing
I used Icehouse beer. Really good recipe here, great job!!!
Used this recipe, and it was really good.
I love LJS's chicken and I think it has the same breading. I'm going to try this! Thanks for doing all the background work for me!
Tried your recipe with fresh salmon. Turned out delicious 😋
@FruittisMaris Just plain ole vegetable oil. Sometime I'll add in a little Crisco when my arteries feel wide open but usually just the oil.
That looks great.. Going to give this a shot on my next Fish N Chips night :)
lol i love that music !!!
Works just fine for me. May not be exactly precise but when there is only 1/2" of oil in the pan, it's either the thermometer touches the bottom or it's not in the oil at all.
This looks so good!
Cant wait to try this one! We dont have a Long John Silver's anymore and I really miss there fish!
That looked really good, now if I can just get someone to come to my home and cook it for me.
Just made some of this for my Taco-Tuesday-Cinco-de-Mayo fish tacos and it was delicious! :D great recipe!
my very 1st job back in the day! awesome!
Long John's doesn't use oil, they use 100% vegetable shortening. I worked there, and we used to have contests to see who could punch the deepest hole into the block of solid shortening. Our batter mix was mixed with warm water; it came prepackaged so I'm not sure what was in it.
On the long john silvers website there is a link you click that says "ingredients 2013" where they list ingredients for every single menu item. So if you're complaining that this wasn't right then do it yourself. This was actually very good and almost exactly the same.
@MeganTerrell Yep, the chicken and shrimp has the same breading.
Club soda is unflavored carbonated water. You can find it at any grocery store with the regular soda or in the liquor aisle.
Thanks for letting me know! It's fixed now. ;-)
@ddAdmire Awww, how sweet you be! ;-) Been busy with life type stuff. :-(
The true key ingredient is a tsp of chicken bullion to the batter ;)
I'll have to try that. Thanks.
I do not like fish at all, but used this same batter recipe for chicken strips, with the crumbs of course. Turned out very well! This video inspired me to try this. By frying the chicken or fish yourself, you can choose the type of cooking oil used. This empowers you to avoid trans fats in your cooking, which Long John Silvers was known for in their fried food items. I have not yet looked at Crouton Crackerjacks video list, but would like to see a video for Long John Silvers hush puppies and onion rings. Please pardon me if Croutons has already posted a video on this. Great channel and videos.
Sounds like mirika dinner is getting to be cooked. I love this and Mirika Hoshizaki (Hoshtaki)
This is fantastic , am making this now!
so this can work well using chicken instead right? Btw...LOVE all your videos!
I'll bet you dollars to donuts that this would probably also work with clams and shrimp too!
Never paper towel. Always a wire rack.
Thank you bunches ❤
Had to use Tonic water but tasted just like LJS. Also made onion rings with the batter and panko...very crispy. Good recipe
Glad to hear!
Am i the only one dancing while watching this 😶😶 i lov this recipe
I tried this recipe and there wasn't that much flavor, I did like the crisp fried batter tho. It wasn't bad once I used good tartar sauce. I may try adding more salt and more of the other ingredients
I agree. It needs more of the seasonings.
You are very close. Something is a little different but this still tastes bomb.
Cooking them now! thanks for sharing .Next time I just need add more ingredients because I used a lot more fishes
I'll try to make that. I'm gonna use Club soda because I'm not a beer person and it's very good with Fries known as Chips so it's called Battered Fish with Chips and Fish is good with crumbs. Can you do a recipe of Chicken Fajitas please?
You're welcome! Enjoy!
Gotta try it, look good thank you.
Very nice. Looks exactly like it. The pieces are the best part too. Damn, now I want to some long john silvers, and it's 30 mins away, and so is a trip to the store to make it at home lol. Oh well, tomorrow then :D
Very nice!👍👌
Looks great but wondering why you don't coat each fish piece in flour before dredging? I'm a little surprised the batter stayed on so well.
Pandemic turned me into a big fat pig. I’m always looking for recipes.
😂🤣 🌭🍔🍟🍕🌮🍤🍩🍺🍺🍺
Looks awesome.
yea man i came up with one yesterday that was almost just like it consistency wise, but that flavor is just so perfect i want it lol
Thanks for watching!
Nice, can't wait to try. Thank you *.*
Yep, any type of fish would be fine.
And BTW, the fish filets are frozen when they batter them, then in the hot grease they go!
thank you for your recipe :)
@angela3733 Thanks!
would this work for any type of fish ... iwant to use catfish
Thanks. Gonna make sunday with fried shrimp also
Yea I did it turned out great a really different taste u should try it
This looks REALLY good. I will definitely be trying this. We seldom to never eat fish. I am very weird about it. But this, this I can do!! yummeh I loved the tropical carribbean music. Sorry your audio is dying :(
