Tips from the chef: After deep frying your fish, allow it just a few minutes to drain and rest on a wire rack, in a 170 F oven, not paper towels. The wire rack will assure that your fish stays crispy while using paper towels can create unwanted steam and sadly make your crispy fish soggy. If using a deep-fryer, parking your fully cooked, freshly fried fish in its fry basket above in the basket holder, above the hot fat, will accomplish the same thing plus it will help keep your fish hot while you finish assembling and plating.
- Whisk the sugar and salt into the red wine vinegar. Add the sliced red onions and allow to macerate for at least 60 minutes. Reserve under refrigeration.
- Add all of the ingredients, except for the parsley and pickles, to the bowl of a food processor or blender. Puree on high for approximately 20 seconds until fully combined. Stir in the parsley and pickles and reserve under refrigeration.
- Prepare the Beer Battered Southern Blue Whiting according to the package instructions. (See *Chef Tip)
- Divide the ingredients for the salad along with the pickled red onions equally and artfully arrange onto four plates. Serve with a fully cooked portion of Beer Batter Whiting along with a generous ramekin of dill pickle ranch dressing.
