Remaining Ingredients
- 1 -2 pounds fish fillets
- corn oil for frying
Mix dry ingredients together in a bowl. Add beer and stir. Mixture should be like pancake batter.
Add 1 1/2 -2 inches oil to pan. Heat oil to 375 degrees.
Pat fish fillets dry with a paper towel. Dip fish, one at a time, into beer batter. Add to heated oil. Cook 3-4 pieces at a time so pan is not overcrowded.
Cook 2-3 minutes per side. Place cooked fish on a baking sheet lined with a baking rack. Place in a preheated 250 degree oven to keep warm while remaining fish cooks.
Repeat until all fish is cooked.
- I use Walleye fish, but any light fish will work.
- Use a light beer.
- If batter is too thick, add a bit more beer.
- If batter is too runny, add a bit more flour.
- This recipe makes a large amount of batter. There is enough to dredge all fillets and there will be extra batter leftover.
