How to Make Beer-Battered Fish
There’s a complete ingredient list and step-by-step directions in the recipe. Let’s review the essentials:
Beer Batter for Fish
For making the batter to cook fish, you’ll require salt and pepper, flour and spice powder for garlic and paprika, and an egg along with (of obviously!) an empty bottle or can of beer.
Best Fish for Frying
The ideal fish for cooking is white, neutral, and slim. This recipe is based on a mild taste cod with a firm texture that holds up to hot oil.
Best Beer for Beer Batter
You can make the batter with any beer on your shelf. In the case of beer, yeast behaves like bread yeast, making, making thick and airy.
Ensure that the beer you are drinking is chilled, and once the chilled batter touches with hot oil, the reaction ensures that the coating is crisp and friendly when removed from the fryer.

Beware of substituting the beer with something similar to club soda since beer has a lot of flavor.
Nicole likes cod because it’s incredibly meaty yet extraordinarily soft and flaky. It holds batter very well, she says.
This isn’t a recipe that Nicole suggests making ahead of time in advance. As soon as you dip the fish into the batter, you can send it to the fryer. But you can make the ingredients in advance.

Ingredients
2 quarts vegetable oil for frying
8 (4-ounce) fillets of cod
salt and pepper to taste
1 cup all-purpose flour
Two tablespoons of garlic powder
Two tablespoons paprika
Two teaspoons salt
Two teaspoons of ground black pepper
One egg, beaten
1 (12 fluid ounces) can or bottle of beer, or as needed
Directions
Heat oil in a deep fryer to 365 degrees F (185 degrees C). Cleanse the cod fillets, dry them, then season by adding spice and salt.
Mix flour, garlic powder, salt, paprika, and black pepper in a bowl. Add egg and stir to mix. Gradually incorporate enough beer to form an even batter.
Dip the cod fillets in the batter until coated. Take care to lower the fillets one at one time into the hot oil. Cook several fillets at a time, rotating them once until they are cooked through and golden, around 2 minutes on each side. Discard onto paper towels. Repeat the cooking process to cook the remaining fillets. Serve warm.
