Ingredients

Corn Dog Batter

  • 3 cups pancake mix

  • 1½ cups cornmeal

  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt

  • 2½ cups water, plus 2 tablespoons if needed

Dijon Tartar Sauce

  • 1 cup prepared tartar sauce

  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Halibut

  • 2 pounds Alaska halibut fillets, cut into 16 portions (about 2 ounces each)

  • 4 teaspoons Old Bay seasoning

  • 16 (6-inch) wooden skewers

For Serving

  • Neutral oil, for frying

  • 16 small lettuce leaves

  • Lemon wedges

Preparation

Make the Batter

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the pancake mix, cornmeal, sugar, salt, and 2½ cups water until smooth and no lumps remain.

  • The batter should be similar to a thick pancake batter. If needed, add up to 2 tablespoons additional water to reach the desired consistency.

  • Cover and refrigerate until ready to use. The batter can be made up to 1 hour ahead.

Make the Dijon Tartar Sauce

  • In a small bowl, stir together the tartar sauce and Dijon mustard until combined.

  • Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Prepare the Halibut Corn Dogs

  • Preheat oil in a deep fryer or heavy pot to 350°F.

  • Pat the halibut portions dry and season each piece with ¼ teaspoon Old Bay seasoning.

  • Insert a skewer into each piece of halibut.

  • Dip each skewer into the batter, coating the fish completely.

  • Carefully lower into the hot oil and fry until golden brown and the fish is cooked through, about 4–5 minutes.

  • Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.

Serve

  • Place two lettuce leaves on each serving plate.

  • Arrange the halibut corn dogs on top.

  • Serve with Dijon Tartar Sauce and fresh lemon wedges.

Alternative Serving Ideas: Fish & Chips Style

  • Serve the halibut corn dogs with crispy French fries, malt vinegar, and Dijon Tartar Sauce.

Alternative Serving Ideas: Mini Halibut Corn Dog Sandwiches

  • Spread with Dijon Tartar Sauce.
