Instructions: 

  • Pour oil into large pot and bring temperature of oil to 375F
  • In a large bowl mix together all of the ingredients for the wet batter. Flour, beer, baking powder, baking soda, paprika, garlic powder, salt. You want the batter to look similar to pancake batter.
  • While oil is heating prep the fish. Drop the fish into a try or bowl of flour. Make sure the entirety of the fish is coated. Shake off excess flour.
  • Once oil has reached temperature, Drop the floured fish into the the batter and make sure it's totally coated. Remove from batter and allow the excess batter to drip off the fish prior to dropping into the oil.
  • Frying time! Gently lay the battered fish into the oil. Be sure to lay the fish away from you so that the hot oil doesn't splash towards you. Let the fish bubble and fry away for around 6-7 minutes total. Be sure to flip multiple times to ensure even browning. After the fish is golden, remove from oil and allow to drain on piece of paper towel or cooling rack. Immediately season with salt.
