How to Make Beer Battered Fish With Tartar Sauce
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Gradually whisk in 1 cup beer until a smooth batter forms. Let the batter rest for at least 15 minutes.
- Cut your fish fillets into 1-inch thick pieces. Pat them dry with paper towels.
- Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. The oil is ready when a small piece of batter dropped in sizzles immediately.
- Dip each fish piece into the batter, ensuring it's fully coated. Carefully place the battered fish in the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding (3-4 pieces per batch).
- Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a wire rack to drain excess oil.
- Serve immediately with your favorite tartar sauce and chips. Enjoy!
