Beer-Battered Fish

Ingredients

  • vegetable oil (2 quarts)
  • cod (8 (4 ounce) fillets)
  • salt (2 teaspoons)
  • pepper (2 teaspoons)
  • all-purpose flour (1 cup)
  • garlic powder (2 tablespoons)
  • paprika (2 tablespoons)
  • egg (1 )
  • beer (1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle)

Instructions

  1. Gather all ingredients.
  2. Heat oil in a deep fryer to 365 degrees F (185 degrees C). Rinse cod fillets, pat dry, and season with salt and pepper.
  3. 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.
  4. Dip cod fillets into the batter to coat. Carefully lower fillets, one at a time, into the hot oil.
  5. Fry several fillets at a time, turning once, until cooked through and golden brown, about 2 minutes per side.
  6. Drain on paper towels. Repeat to cook remaining fillets. Serve warm.
