Method

  1. Make the chipotle vinegar by whisking all ingredients in a dipping bowl. Keep at room temperature until needed.
  2. Combine beer, cornmeal, old bay, worcestershire sauce, salt, chipotles, and adobo to make a batter.
  3. Dredge fish pieces in cornstarch, and then dip in the batter.
  4. Fry coated fish pieces two at a time in the oil at 350°F. They should take 3 minutes to become golden and crisp on the outside.
  5. Drain fish pieces on a cooling rack suspended above a baking pan. If inside is undercooked, finish in a 350°F oven.
  6. Serve with French fries and the chipotle vinegar.
