CRISPY BEER-BATTERED FISH

Tips:
- Use very cold water to make the batter, as this will help the batter stay light and crispy.
- Do not overmix the batter, as this will make it tough.
- Use a large enough skillet to fry the fish, so that the fish does not overcrowd the pan.
- Do not overcrowd the pan when frying the fish, as this will cause the fish to steam instead of fry.
- Fry the fish until it is golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Serve the fish immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
