Northwest Fishing Reports

Here's one I found online at www.allrecipes.com, and it is cheap, easy and delicious!

INGREDIENTS
2 pounds of white meat fish filets (skin removed, bones removed). Bass, perch, tilapia, cod, catfish, etc are all great choices for your filets.

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon dried dill weed
3/4 cup beer
1/2 cup milk
2 eggs
vegetable oil

DIRECTIONS

1) Cut fish filets into bite size pieces

2) In a large bowl, mix together flour, salt, baking powder, and dill. Add beer, milk, and eggs; mix well.
Place the bite size pieces in the batter mixture, coat well, and let stand for 15 minutes.

3) Heat deep fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Place fish in hot oil, and fry until golden brown. Cook fish in batches to maintain oil temperature. Serve.

*NOTE. You do not need a deep fryer for this. I do not have one, and they turn out just as well. Instead of a deep fryer, get a deep cast iron skillit, or a deep cooking pot. Add enough oil, so that the fish pieces float freely. Heat first, then add the fish. Don't add too many at one time, and like step three said, cook them in batches.

Nope, it doesn't matter. I use what I have on hand, whether it be Bush Light or Black Butte Porter. When it comes to this recipe, beer is just beer.

I didnt think it matered but it seems like every time I do beer battered I have bud and corana. So why use bud when you have the more expensive stuff. Me, Ill choose an american over an import any day but I dont pay for import so Id rather waste someone elses beer LOL
