Beer Battered Fish
This beer battered fish recipe uses cod fillets seasoned with salt and pepper, coated in a spiced flour batter enriched with garlic powder, paprika, egg, and beer. Deep frying in hot oil produces a crispy golden crust while keeping the fish moist inside. The beer lightens the batter and adds subtle flavor.
