Ingredients

• 4 pieces firm white fish fillets (such as cod or haddock)
• 1.5 cups flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 can (12 oz) low sodium beer
• 4 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
• 1 lemon wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels and set them aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and black pepper.

Step 3

Gradually whisk in the low sodium beer until you achieve a smooth batter. The batter should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.

Step 4

Heat the vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).

Step 5

Dredge each fish fillet in a small amount of flour to help the batter adhere, shaking off any excess.

Step 6

Dip the floured fish fillets into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off.

Step 7

Carefully place the battered fish into the hot oil, cooking them in batches to avoid overcrowding.

Step 8

Fry each piece for about 4-5 minutes, or until the batter is golden brown and the fish is cooked through.

Step 9

Remove the fish from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Step 10

Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
