This recipe was given to me by an Alaskan friend. I have not tried it yet (we don't eat much fried foods), but knowing the source, I'm sure it is good!

We didn’t have any beer, so I used Cook’s champagne. It worked great, and the halibut was delicious!Reply

This is the only recipe I use for beer battering now. The beer batter fried to be thin and crispy. I do add more flour to make it a bit thicker though.1Reply

Loved the recipe!! After I soak the halibut/lincod in the batter, I usually roll it in a Panko (Japanese style) bread crumbs and coconut mixture and then fry it. Delicious!!2Replies 1 -
Awesome recipe! It worked great on cod as well. Was nice and crunchy but also light and not too rich! My kids loved it as well, so that's a big plus in my books! I did like one other person said, and added a bit more salt, and it was perfect.Replies 2
