Ingredients

• 2 fluke fishes, fresh and local
• 1 cup flour
• Water, enough to make a batter
• Vegetable oil, for frying
• Salt, to taste
• Chipotle aioli
• Fresh lemon wedges
• Chips (French fries or other type of potato side, optional

Directions

• If the fish is whole, clean and filet the fish, keeping the bones for presentation. Otherwise, ensure your fluke filets are ready to go.
• In mixing bowl, combine flour and water to create a simple batter. Consistency should be such that it coats the back of a spoon but still runs off smoothly.
• Turn on the XO Power Burner, set it to high heat. Place a deep pot on the burner. Fill it with vegetable oil for frying. Heat oil to around 350°F to 375°F.
• Dip the fluke filets in the batter, ensuring they are well-coated.
• Carefully place the battered fluke filets into the hot oil on the XO Power Burner. Fry them until they are golden brown and crispy. This should take about 3-5 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the filets.
• Once fried, remove the fluke filets from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Season with salt while hot.
• Serve the crispy fluke with chipotle aioli, fresh lemon wedges and chips on the side. Optionally, use the fish bones for presentation as mentioned in the video.
