- When oil is up to temperature, mix beer into batter. Dip and coat fillets with batter and place into oil. Fry to a light golden brown, turning once. Remove and place on paper towels to drain. Keep warm in the oven if needed.
- Sprinkle fish with a little salt and malt vinegar.
- CHIPS: Peel 5 medium Idaho potatoes, slice into 1/2" square strips by the length of the potato. Rinse in cold water to reduce starch. Leave in water until oil is 375°F
- Grab a large handful and pat dry with paper towel until fairly dry, to reduce spattering. Place into hot oil and fry until golden brown. Do a handful a time, keeping cooked ones warm in the oven.
- Enjoy!

I haven't ever deep-fried anything before, so a little more detail would have been helpful. The batter turns out WAY too thick if you only use 5 oz of milk and 5 oz of beer. I used what the recipe called for and the batter was really sticky during the prep and thick and chewy when it was all done. I'd add some more liquid. I also found out that you can simmer beer on low and whisk it for a minute and it flattens it... in case you didn't plan a few days ahead and leave beer out. I found out on the internet that you can tell oil is ready for frying when you put the handle end of a wooden spoon in it and it bubbles. It was medium on my stove. so, other than not offering much info, I thought it was an ok meal.
