Beer Battered Fish

This is a simple and universal beer batter. the only thing I would of done different tonight was used a cod or halibut instead of...Talipa but hey it was what I had! back to the batter when I say universal I mean this would work for mushrooms or...onion rings... this particular recipe will cover 1 pound of fish and then some.
here's the ingredients:
1 pound of fish completely defrosted (halibut or cod)
1 1/2 C flour (plus 1 cup to dredge your fish in)
2 eggs
1 can of beer (not a lite)
salt
1 tsp of baking powder
oil

whisk your eggs in a separate bowl. Put 1 cup of flour in a large bowl mix with the baking powder and the salt (1-2tbl)  and slowly add your can of beer..it is going to bubble then add your eggs. add more flour to make a pancake like batter.. you can use a whisk.. or a hand mixer. Let this batter rest for 10 minutes to an hour.

Your fish should be sliced in strips it makes it easier to cook evenly.
When your oil is up to temp, you want a nice hot oil.. a frydaddy right now would be bomb! Put 1 cup of flour on a plate and dredge your fish through and then into the batter and then into the oil. cook until its a nice golden brown. drain them on paper towels.

serve this fish with tater sauce and malted vinegar.. goooooood! Tonight I did fry some french fries, a cole slaw would be a perfect addition to this meal as well. Good Luck!
