Beer Battered Fish and Chips

Beer Battered Fish and Chips

You will be surprised how Beer Battered Fish is easy to make. When I made it the batter was nice and light and crispy and the fish was so moist and tender and so good!

I used cod for the fish but you could use pretty much any white fish such as haddock or halibut, etc. For the beer I went with Guinness which gave the batter a nice dark color.

To complete the Beer Battered Fish, I Served the fish with chips, coleslaw, tartar sauce, lemon.

Ingredients:

1 bottle beer

2 cups flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 large egg (lightly beaten)

1 pound cod fillets (or halibut, or haddock, etc., cut into serving sized pieces)
