Kittencal's Beer Battered Fish
"A long time favorite I have used for over 25 years, plan ahead the batter needs to sit for one hour before using --- the amounts listed will be enough for 2 pounds of fish, you may double but make certain to prepare two separate recipes in two bowls, do not double into one bowl as the batter will not be as good --- you may wish to add in 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder and paprika to the flour mixture for extra flavor and for a little heat add in a pinch of cayenne pepper :)"

Excellent batter~ Light and crispy. I used haddock fillets and should have made more because the whole family loved it. Thanks Kittencal fro another great recipe. -
Awesome batter. We used the batter with tilapia and fresh mushrooms. Even the non fish eater in the family enjoyed the fish.

Has anyone tried this using an air fryer? -
Delicious batter! I was surprised at how thin the batter was, but it stuck nicely to my fish and cooked up golden and crispy! Thanks for sharing, your recipes are always a hit I'm my book! ?

This is close to the best fish(and chips) I've ever had! I'm doing the Low Sodium thing so instead of salt I used Garlic and Herb (no salt) seasoning. I cooked in olive oil for the good cholestorol. When finished I seasoned with malt vinegar and lemon. I botched the chips but that was my fault, they aren't on the recipe. I love battered fish and chips, (can't stand the breaded stuff) and now can fix for myself! Thanks Kittencal!
