Ingredients

2 lbs. firm white fish, like cod

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

1 3/4 cup all purpose flour

1 tbsp garlic powder

1 tbsp paprika

1 large egg, lightly beaten

1 1/3 cups beer


Canola, vegetable, or peanut oil for frying


Additional salt and pepper for sprinkling the fish

Directions

Add oil to a large, heavy bottomed pot or deep fryer till it's about 2 to 3 inches deep. Heat oil to 375 degrees F.

Meanwhile, cut fish into strips about 1 inch wide if necessary. Pat dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt and pepper.

Whisk together the flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.

Stir in the lightly beaten egg, then gradually whisk in the beer until the batter forms and is no longer lumpy.

Quickly dip the fish one piece at a time into the batter, then place in the hot oil. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the fish is a nice golden brown. Drain on a wire rack and enjoy while hot!

Notes

Fried fish can be reheated in an air fryer, convection oven, or toaster oven at 325 degrees until heated through.
