Number Of Ingredients 11

6 to 8 cups vegetable oil for frying
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup beer (not dark)
8 (2 1/2-oz) pieces of pollack, Pacific cod, or catfish fillet (3/4 to 1 inch thick)
1/4 cup drained bottled capers, coarsely chopped
3/4 teaspoon hot Spanish smoked paprika
1/2 cup mayonnaise

I'm not a fan of mayonnaise, so I substituted Greek yogurt in the dipping sauce. It was still delicious.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my fish didn't come out as crispy as I wanted it to be. I'm not sure what I did wrong.
