How to Make Beer Battered Fish
- Heat 1 inch of oil in a deep fryer or large, heavy-bottomed pot to 365°F (185°C).
- Rinse fish fillets, pat them completely dry with paper towels, and season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon garlic powder, 1 tablespoon paprika, 2 teaspoons salt, and 2 teaspoons black pepper.
- Crack 1 large egg into the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined.
- Gradually add 1 cup of beer (any light beer works well), whisking constantly until a smooth, thin batter forms. The batter should be thick enough to coat the fish but thin enough that you can see through it.
- Dip each fish fillet into the batter, ensuring it's fully coated. Gently tap off any excess batter.
- Carefully place fish fillets, one at a time, into the hot oil. Avoid overcrowding the pot.
- Fry the fish for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Turn the fillets once using tongs.
- Remove the cooked fish from the oil and place them on a wire rack or plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious beer-battered fish!
