Instructions

  1. Mix dry batter ingredients together.
  2. Add enough beer to form a smooth batter.
  3. Pour ½ inch of oil into a cast iron skillet. Heat the oil to 375F. (Or until a little batter dropped into the oil sizzles and turns golden in 2 minutes.)
  4. Dip the fish pieces in the batter, coating well.
  5. Place battered fish pieces into the hot oil, being careful not to crowd them.
  6. Cook the fish for 2-3 minutes per side. (The fish is done when the pieces are golden and firm.)
  7. Remove the fried fish to a plate lined with paper towels. Continue with the remaining fish.
