How to Make Beer Batter Fish

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Gradually whisk in the beer until a smooth batter forms. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  3. Gently dip each fish fillet into the batter, ensuring it's fully coated.
  4. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. The oil is ready when a small piece of batter sizzles immediately.
  5. Carefully place the battered fish fillets in the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Remove the fish from the skillet and place it on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  7. Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as tartar sauce, lemon wedges, and french fries.
