Beer Battered Fish With Dipping Sauce

Submitted by The Flying Chef

"This is another recipe I made for a seafood platter night it was really good and again the ingredients listed below are just a guess for 4 people I think it will be about right. As I said in previous posts because I was making this as part of a large platter I cut back on everything because of all the dishes I made. I am also listing 2 of the sauces I made below; The lemon mayonnaise I served with the fish and the twist on the more traditional cocktail sauce I served with the prawns and crab meat. The lobster tails I made from French Tarts Recipe#288456 I wanted a quick easy recipe that would taste great and not take too long as I was going to be busy preparing other dishes this was perfect."
