Preparation
Step 1
BATTER:
Whisk together flour, cornstarch, beer, egg, and salt in a medium-sized bowl. Make sure there are no lumps. Cover bowl and place in the fridge for at least 20 minutes, or up to 3 hours.
FISH:
Pour oil into a large Dutch oven. Turn heat to medium and bring to a temperature of 375°F.
Dry fish fillets with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper to taste. Drop each piece into the bowl of batter.
When the oil is at 375°F, remove 1 piece of fish with a pair of tongs, letting the excess batter drip back into the bowl. Then, lower it into the oil, holding on to it for a few seconds to keep it from sticking to the bottom. Repeat process with other fillets. Adjust heat to medium-high to keep the temperature at about 350°F. Cook until fillets are golden brown, about 5 minutes.
Drain fish fillets on a baking sheet covered with paper towels. Serve with coleslaw, malt vinegar, lemon, or whatever you like.
