GINGER BEER BATTERED FISH
This is a combo of recipes and then my own added twist of using ginger beer. It gives a very slight warmth . Halibut is listed but use any fish you like battered. I have used tilapia. NOTE: the recipe calls for a 296 ml bottle of ginger beer approx 12 ounces or 1 1/4 cup. DO NOT just toss the whole amount of ginger beer in since flour brands and weather can make flour somewhat unpredictable. LOL I add about 3/4of the amount and then slowly add more until I get a good coating consistency. Batter should be slightly runny. Try not to overmix since it can lead to a tough and not crispy coating. I also dredge the fish in cornstarch instead of flour . Can't remember where I read to do this but what a difference. Can also add a dash of chili or cayenne. Cook and prep times are approximate

Steps:
- Heat deep fryer to 365 F.
- Whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder and salt and pepper.
- Add ginger beer (see notes) and stir just until combined. If batter is over mixed, it will be tough.
- Dredge halibut in cornstarch then dip in batter.
- Allow any excess batter to drain away, then slowly, carefully, dip the fish into the hot oil.
- Fry until golden and crispy and fish is cooked through, approximately 8 to 10 minutes. The oil temperature will drop a bit, 365 degrees is ideal.
BEER BATTER FISH MADE GREAT
Steps:
- Heat oil in a deep fryer to 365 degrees F (185 degrees C). Rinse fish, pat dry, and season with salt and pepper.
- Combine flour, garlic powder, paprika, 2 teaspoons salt, and 2 teaspoons pepper. Stir egg into dry ingredients. Gradually mix in beer until a thin batter is formed. You should be able to see the fish through the batter after it has been dipped.
- Dip fish fillets into the batter, then drop one at a time into hot oil. Fry fish, turning once, until both sides are golden brown. Drain on paper towels, and serve warm.

Tips:
- Use fresh ginger. Fresh ginger has a more vibrant flavor than ground ginger, and it will give your batter a more authentic ginger beer taste.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make it tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Use a light hand when coating the fish. You don't want to weigh the fish down with too much batter.
- Fry the fish in hot oil. This will help to create a crispy crust.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. If you overcrowd the pan, the fish will not cook evenly.
- Serve the fish immediately. Fish is best served hot and crispy.
Conclusion:
Ginger beer battered fish is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. The ginger beer gives the batter a unique and flavorful taste that is sure to please everyone.
