Ingredients:

  • 3/4 cup beer
  • 1 tbsp melted butter or 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 dash pepper
  • 1 1/3 cups flour , plus
  • additional flour (for dredging)

Directions:

  1. Let beer stand at room temperature until flat.
  2. Refrigerate egg whites; beat together egg yolks, beer, butter or oil, salt and pepper; whisk into flour to make a smooth batter; refrigerate batter 3-12 hours.
  3. When ready to fry fish (I use cod or halibut) pieces, bring egg whites to room temperature then beat them until stiff; fold beaten egg whites gently into beer batter.
  4. Blot fish pieces dry with paper towels; dredge each lightly with flour then dip into batter to cover completely.
  5. Deep fry fish, a few pieces at a time, at about 375° until batter is cooked and deep golden-brown; drain on absorbent paper then serve.
