The light, fluffy beer batter pairs perfectly with the delicate flavor of the halibut, and the crispy exterior is simply irresistible.

ingredients

1 cup biscuit baking mix
1 can stale beer
1 tablespoon oil
1 teaspoon lemon juice
seasonings to taste (e.g., salt, pepper, garlic salt, seasoned salt)
2 egg whites
2 pounds halibut filets, cubed (or any other firm white fish)
oil for cooking

directions

Combine the baking mix, beer, oil, lemon juice, and any desired seasonings in a shallow dish. Mix well.

In another bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the beer batter.

Heat oil to 360 degrees F in a deep fryer or deep skillet.

Dip the fish into the batter, turning to coat completely. Let any excess drip off. Place the coated fish in the hot oil and cook, turning as needed, until golden brown and the fish is cooked through. Remove with a slotted spoon and let drain on paper toweling.

Serve the beer batter halibut hot with tartar sauce and lemon wedges.

    I used this recipe for deep frying shrimp and it was awesome! The batter is flakey and delicious!
