Ingredients

The following ingredients have 3 Servings
  • 1 lb Perch fillets
  • 1 1/3 cups flour ((divided))
  • 12 oz beer ((recommend cheap lager))
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 Lemon ((cut into wedges))
  • Tartar sauce for dipping
  • Peanut Oil
  • French Fries
  • Buttered Rye Bread
  • Coleslaw

Instruction

  • Add 2-3" of oil to a high walled skillet or fill a deep fryer. Heat oil to 375 degrees.
  • Place 1/3 cup of flour in a bowl.
  • Add 1 cup of flour and 1/2 tsp salt in a separate bowl and whisk in beer until the batter has a thin consistency that just coats the back of a spoon.*
  • Dip the fillets in flour, shaking off the excess and then dip evenly in the batter.**
  • Place battered fillets in hot oil, working in batches.
  • Fry fish 2-4 minutes, or until it reaches golden brown. The fish will cook quickly inside so don't be afraid to judge the doneness solely by the color of the breading.
  • Remove from oil and let drain on a cooling rack or paper towel prior to serving.
  • Plate with French fries, coleslaw, buttered rye bread, tartar sauce for dipping and lemon wedge.
