THE BEST BEER BATTERED FISH
Beer batter can be contentious. When done right, it is light, airy, and crunchy-perfectly complimenting the fillet within. When done poorly, it can be heavy, doughy, and overpowering. Beer battered fish takes more attention to detail than other method of frying, so it's best to work in small batches...

Steps:
- Season the fish with salt and pepper.
- Mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl with a whisk.
- Dredge the fillets well in the flour mix, shaking off any excess. Refrigerate fillets until ready to fry.
- When the oil is hot, add the beer and honey to the flour mixture and stir well. A couple of lumps are preferable, so don't overwork it. Add a couple ice cubes to the batter.
- Dip a couple of fillets into the batter, coating them completely. Allow any excess batter to drain off.
- Gently place them into the 375°F oil and fry for 30 seconds.
- Flip the fillet, exposing the more-cooked bottom. Drizzle a little bit of batter on top. Flip the fillet back over and drizzle a little batter on top again. Don't overdo it, but just add a thin layer of additional batter.
- Fry the fish until deep golden brown, about 2 minutes total for fish that's an inch thick. Serve immediately.

CRISPY BEER-BATTERED FISH
A local restaurant made a similar breading for shrimp po' boys, but we think this version's better. I serve the beer battered fish with a ranch dressing and hot sauce mixture as a dip. -Jenny Wenzel, Gulfport, Mississippi

MY PERFECT FISH BATTER
I've used dozens of recipes over the years, searching for the "perfect fish batter" for fried fish. The many variations of "beer batter" always fell short for me (kinda strange taste, but then, I don't like beer). Actual Tempura batter just didn't have quite the substance I wanted either, although it was closer to what I wanted. I can't even eat some of the gummy, nasty battered fish I've been served and have made. This is honestly the best fish I've ever eaten, bar none, and that includes everyplace on the Pacific coast I've paid to eat. This is light, puffy, delicate and sticks to the fish. The fish must be very cold and very dry. This will batter about 1 1/3 lbs of fish fillets. It's wonderful for shrimp too.

Steps:
- Use a med. bowl, and with a wire whisk, whisk dry ingredients to be sure they are well blended. Have a large skillet ready with and inch of veg. oil nearly smoking hot.
- Squeeze half a juicy lemon into a measuring cup, and fill to the 3/4 line with ICE cold water. Mix quickly into the dry ingredients, till only small lumps remain. It does not need to be smooth. With tongs, drag each piece of fish through the batter till well coated on each side. Lay the piece in the hot oil, and continue.
- Do not crowd the pieces. You can do this in batches, keeping cooked fish on a rack in a warm oven. It will take a very short time, depending on the thickness of the fish. Do not overcook. Serve with lemon slices.

Tips:
- Use a light beer for the batter. This will give the fish a crispy, golden-brown exterior without overpowering the flavor of the fish.
- Make sure the batter is cold before frying the fish. This will help the batter set quickly and prevent the fish from becoming greasy.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the fish. This will cause the fish to steam instead of fry, resulting in a soggy batter.
- Fry the fish in hot oil. This will help the batter cook quickly and evenly.
- Don't move the fish around too much while it's frying. This will break the batter and make the fish less crispy.
- Serve the fish immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
Conclusion:
Beer-battered fish is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a casual meal or a special occasion. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect beer-battered fish every time.
