Beer Batter Fish Made Great
This beer-battered fish is a great recipe and very easy to make. We often fish all day with friends, and then cook the fish afterwards out on deck. Yummy and great!
Ingredients
- 2 quarts vegetable oil for frying
- 4 ounce fillets cod
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons garlic powder or to taste
- 2 tablespoons paprika or to taste
- 2 teaspoons salt or to taste
- 2 teaspoons ground black pepper or to taste
- 1 large egg beaten
- 12 fluid ounce can or bottle beer or as needed
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients.
- Heat oil in a deep fryer to 365 degrees F (185 degrees C). Rinse cod fillets, pat dry, and season with salt and pepper.
- Mix flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in a large bowl; add egg and stir well to combine. Gradually mix in enough beer to make a thin batter.
- Dip cod fillets into the batter to coat. Carefully lower fillets, one at a time, into the hot oil.
- Fry several fillets at a time, turning once, until cooked through and golden brown, about 2 minutes per side.
- Drain on paper towels. Repeat to cook remaining fillets. Serve warm.
