Prepare the Beer-Battered Crispy Fish
Cut fish into smaller slices to your liking. Place into a bowl and pour on the lemon juice, then cover with water. Allow to sit at least 30 minutes.
In another bowl mix the flour, cornstarch, salt, and pepper. Add the beer in slowly, watching that the batter doesn’t get very thin. You may need just the one cup.
Remove the fish from the water it’s been sitting in and add about half the fish to the bowl of the batter at a time. Mix to coat.
Heat about two inches of oil. Add a slice of raw carrot to the oil, which helps keep the oil clean and food from burning. Fry the fish on both sides till slightly golden and very crispy.
Remove onto a wire rack to cool.
Serve with the dipping sauce and chips.

Excellent. Crispy fish is my favorite, have never found the recipe that worked. This was perfect. We didn’t have enough fish of one type. Made some tilapia, and red snapper, when the fish was finished the remaining batter went to cauliflower. Expected to have some leftovers. Not a dropped left. Want to try batter with chicken next, think I’ll partial pan fry and partial air fry. It was so good!
