Ingredients
2-3 lbs. halibut
1 cup all-purpose flour (for
coating halibut)
1½ cups all-purpose flour (for
batter)
1 12-oz. can light beer
½ tsp salt
1 tsp paprika
a few dashes of pepper sauce
(like Tabasco)
Directions
Cut halibut into easy-to-handle
pieces (such as 1-2" x 3"). Set aside. Place the 1 cup
of flour in a shallow bowl. Set aside. In a large mixing
bowl, add the 1 1/2 cups of flour, beer, salt, paprika and
pepper sauce. Whisk vigorously to incorporate as much air as
possible (this makes the batter light and frothy). Roll
halibut pieces one at a time in the shallow bowl of flour,
covering completely, then dip into the beer batter,
completely covering. Lift with a fork and gently place in
hot oil. Fry until fish turns golden brown in color,
then remove from oil with a large slotted or draining spoon
or tongs and place on a plate covered with a few paper
towels to drain oil.
