Title: Beer Batter Halibut
Categories: Fish
Yield: 1 Servings

-couple of pounds of
-halibut
-enough cooking oil to
-allow deep frying
1 c Flour
-one 12-ounce bottle of
-beer
1 tb Of paprika and 1 1/2 tsp
-salt

For this batter, good quality, light-colored beers work best. The flavor of
dark beers is too strong.

Cut halibut into 1-inch-thick chunks. Heat oil in a deep-fat fryer to 375
degrees F. Make batter by combining remaining ingredients. Dip the halibut
into the batter and drop the pieces into the hot oil a few at a time. Cook
the fish chunks until the batter is golden brown ~ just a few minutes.
Halibut overcooks easily, so try not to overdo it. Remove the fish pieces
from the oil and drain on paper towels; serve piping hot with your favorite
accompaniments.
