Beer Battered Fish
Adapted From: Web
Ingredients
4 Walleye Filets (or cod, or other white fish)
3/4 cup Flour (divided)
2/3 cup Beer (preferably ale)
1 Egg
1 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
dash Salt
dash Pepper
Vegetable Oil (about 3/4 inch deep in fry pan)
Directions
Whisk together 1/2 cup flour, beer, egg, and baking powder
In another bowl, combine 1/4 cup flour, salt, and pepper
Pour about 3/4 inch of vegetable oil in the bottom of a fry pan

Dredge fish in the flour mix, shake off excess
Dredge fish in beer batter bath
Place fish directly in hot oil

Flip, and cook an additional 2-3 minutes on the flip side (again, until golden brown).
Remove from oil, and place on a paper towel or rack to drain
Serve with Tarter Sauce and lemon wedges.
Katie Dishes - Two Thumbs Up
This recipe successfully filled my fish craving! The batter was very crisp, but still very light. It wasn't over powering, or overly greasey, or too filling. It was delicious!
I might add a little more salt to the batter, but other than that, it was great. I think it turned out better than what I could gt at a Friday night fish fry at most restaurants in town!
Make sure you try it with Tarter Sauce, and "Chips". Perfect restaurant quality meal in.
