Beer Battered Fried Fish Bites

• servings: 6 servings
• total time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

4 Cod Fillet

1 cup All-Purpose Flour

1 teaspoon Baking Powder

to taste Salt

to taste Ground Black Pepper

1 Egg

1 cup Light Beer

2 tablespoon Canola Oil

1 teaspoon Salt

1/2 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper

Directions

Cut Cod Fillet (4) into bite size pieces then sprinkle with Salt (to taste) and Ground Black Pepper (to taste).

Add All-Purpose Flour (1/4 cup) to a plate and set aside.

Sift together the remaining All-Purpose Flour (3/4 cup), Baking Powder (1 teaspoon), Salt (1 teaspoon), and Ground Black Pepper (1/2 teaspoon). Add to a medium bowl. Feel free to add seasoning of choice.

Beat the Egg (1) in a small bowl, then stir in the Light Beer (1 cup). Add to the sifted flour mix. Stir until thick and smooth. There may be a few lumps visible which is OK. Try not to over-mix the batter.

Heat Canola Oil (2 tablespoon) deep fryer or a Dutch oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). When ready to fry, dredge the fish pieces in flour first, then the batter. The batter is thick, so I recommend keeping one hand for dredging and the other clean for frying.

You will have to toss the fish in the batter with your hand to fully coat. Fry for 2-4 minutes or until both sides are golden brown.

Drain over a paper towel-lined plate. Taste and, if needed, sprinkle with a touch of Salt (to taste). Serve on a platter surrounded by a bowl of your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy!
