Beer Battered Fish

Beer Battered Fish

6 cups (MOL) peanut oil
8 fish fillets (your choice)
1 cup all purpose flour
1 cup cornstarch
1 (12 oz.) can beer
1 egg
1 teaspoon salt

Combine the flour, cornstarch, beer, egg, and salt in a large mixing bowl and whisk well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes, or up to 3 hours.

Heat oil to 375ºF. While oil is heating, wash and pat dry the fish fillets. Dip fillets into batter, then into oil with tongs. Hold fish, with the tongs, a couple of seconds to set batter. This prevents sticking to the bottom of pan. Cook until golden brown (about 5 minutes), then transfer to platter, lined with paper towels.
