How to Make Beer Batter For Fried Fish

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
2. Gradually whisk in the dark beer until a smooth batter forms. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
3. Let the batter rest for at least 15 minutes. This allows the gluten to relax, resulting in a lighter batter.
4. While the batter rests, prepare your fish fillets. Pat them dry with paper towels.
5. Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
6. Dip each fish fillet into the batter, ensuring it's fully coated.
7. Carefully place the battered fish fillets into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
8. Fry the fish for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
9. Remove the fish from the oil and place it on a wire rack to drain excess oil.
10. Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as tartar sauce, lemon wedges, and french fries.
