Low Carb Fish Fry!! Carbquik Beer Batter & Dry Batter with Snakehead

We've tried many low carb options for frying fish. Up until this point crushed up pork rinds have been our favorite. I recently discovered Carbquik: amzn.to/2SzXa9W
We tried it as a dry batter and a beer batter! We had a few complications with multiple pans cooking at the same time, but everything turned out delicious!!

To help the beer batter stick after battering pop it in the freezer for about 20 min. That's what I have done in the past with great results

[@MentalHealthDay82]

Awesome. Thanks for the tip

[@jameslowe57]

Good for you guys, low carb food is the way to go, I’ve lost 55 pounds on Keto!! And your fish fry looks delicious!!

[@MentalHealthDay82]

Awesome James! Congratulations. Keto probably saved my life.

[@jameslowe57]

@@MentalHealthDay82, mine too ❤️❤️

[@chrisanderson9856]

Fish looked good. I believe it's time to go bluegill fishing and have a little fun. Thanks Kurt for all the great videos!

[@MentalHealthDay82]

Thanks Chris! We have the kids catching some gills in an upcoming video.

[@wiseguysoutdoors2954]

A little corn starch before the beer batter and you will be golden. Take it from a chef. But it still looks fantastic, Kurt

[@MentalHealthDay82]

Thanks!

[@Swamp-Fox]

Wish I was there for the taste test. Cal is a trooper for volunteering to clean up!

[@MentalHealthDay82]

Haha! Thanks

[@carbquik1954]

Looks delicious! Hard to beat fresh fish, and love passing the kid test. Thanks for the support!

[@MentalHealthDay82]

Thank you!

[@dukepalmz2893]

Kurt it's key that you dry the fish prior to using the batter. If the fish is wet it causes Steam separation between the batter and fish and it peels of while cooking. I love the new channel, if you ever come fish cape cod let me know!

[@MentalHealthDay82]

Thank you for the tip! I'll remember that one

[@elizabethlittler4472]

I love this channel. I'm from England so I am learning a lot about what fish you have and how much fun it can be xx

[@MentalHealthDay82]

Thank you for the support Elizabeth! All the best

[@bmh67wa]

That looks yummy!

[@marksadventurechannel8471]

You could try drying the fish before it goes in the batter. That way it sticks to the fish instead of having the liquid prevent adhesion.

[@MentalHealthDay82]

Good call Mark. I tend to rush things

[@thomasallen3818]

Kurt don’t feel like the Lone Ranger with the “her piece” joke. My mind went there too. I could see my wife in yours when you let her in on the joke. Venus and Mars, that’s all it comes down to. lol

[@MentalHealthDay82]

Haha! Thats

[@LEOLEO-mg5cl]

I made beer batter like yours. I dipped my tilapia in it then dredged it in carrington farms keto bread crumbs. The coating stayed on pretty well. I used full fillets. Was delicious. I topped it with fresh aioli.

[@MentalHealthDay82]

Awesome! Thanks

[@katiebailey9180]

Looks good!

[@forkedhornYT]

I would think dusting them first then hitting the beer batter will work better. That is what I do normally. However I have never used that product.

[@MentalHealthDay82]

Thanks Bill

[@IslenoGutierrez]

You need to do these things: 1.) Get you a good beer batter recipe (one online that has been tested and works) as well as a good dry batter recipe (with measurements that work) and just substitute the Carbquick for the flour. 2.) Get a couple cooking thermometers that clip onto the side of the pot so your oil will be at the right temp every time and won’t make everything too dark or too light. Preferably, you want anywhere from 340-350 degrees for best results and color. Then, enjoy well made low carb fried fish.

[@carlmartin4577]

That is what it sounded like

[@erikfranz2275]

Yum! Looks so good!

[@MentalHealthDay82]

Thanks Bro

[@newman7910]

I made the pork rinds in the blender mistake also. Horrendous. I’m loving these low carb experiments you’re doing. It’s saving us fellow low carbers a lot of time.

[@MentalHealthDay82]

Yup. I learned the hard way too. My pleasure. Give this stuff a shot. We've been enjoying it

[@susanlistman439]

Tongs Kurt, tongs.

[@kimberlyherring7072]

Thank u making dry today!!

[@silverlicious2086]

Looked sooo gooood. What a beautiful platter of deliciousness. I'm pretty sure you like catfish nuggets too. Have a nice weekend!

[@MentalHealthDay82]

Yup. Grew up on Catfish nuggets

[@silverlicious2086]

I knew it.. Haha. I actually grew up on Perch and Walleye. Back in the day.. on Lake Erie and up in Ontario. Nothing beats a shore lunch on the river, build a little campfire and fry 'em within an hour. Very lite floor, egg, and beer batter. And ofc thick cut fries.

[@marvinschabacker4207]

Its catfishin weekend for us. Big fishfry Sunday. Fry Magic is my choice for fish batter.

[@MentalHealthDay82]

Awesome! Good luck

[@marvinschabacker4207]

Just over 20 catfish. Fried them all up. Finished them up passing the pan around the campfire. What a beautiful weekend. Hope yours was great as well.

[@YFZMoto]

That Fish looked Really Tasty I have never had Snake Head but it looks real good.

[@MentalHealthDay82]

It's probably my favorite and that's saying a lot

[@DavidAKALumpy]

I've been frying seafood for yrs. If you dry batter first then beer batter it should stick much better! I don't get to cook seafood much anymore.I have one that's allergic to shell fish and another who absolutely hates the smell of anything that comes from the sea! Enjoyed watching the family edition of MHD! LFOD!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@MentalHealthDay82]

Thanks David

[@jonc2375]

Idk why we haven't had some beer battered crab cakes! Looks delicious though!

[@MentalHealthDay82]

Sounds delicious

[@rustygold1958]

man that is firm meat. Very little curl when you fry. I may need to introduce them into Arkansas and see if the Alligator Gar and Snakehead duel to the death,

[@MentalHealthDay82]

Hahaha! I'd watch that show

[@tamelastestimonialstrattor4877]

If I did not want beer.. what else could I use?

[@JJX921]

No more beer Kurt?

[@MentalHealthDay82]

Trying to be low carb. I have them here and there. Not like I'd like to

[@liddyshipman9711]

Not for me allergic to garlic.😕

[@MentalHealthDay82]

Sorry to hear that

[@wayneschnare4019]

Dry your fish , coat in flour , let sit about 20 minutes , then put in wet solution , should stick !!

[@MentalHealthDay82]

Thanks Wayne

[@mrpanamajr]

Looks good! Can you send me some?

[@MentalHealthDay82]

Haha! It's all gone

[@mrpanamajr]

@@MentalHealthDay82 Damn!

[@wvbrookchub]

Just for the record, I also heard “herpes.”

[@MentalHealthDay82]

Hahaha! Thanks

Has canola oil, very unhealthy!

Now I'm hungry 😁
