Using a leftover trout fillet from my last recipe, I fried up some fluffy beer-battered fish the other night. It's a simple and quick way to use up leftover fish.
Beer batter
1 cup beer
1 cup flour
2 tsp baking powder
Salt
Pepper
Cayenne (to taste)
Season fish with salt and pepper.
Mix together dry ingredients. Heat oil in a deep-fat fryer or 2" in a skillet. When oil is ready, mix the beer with dry ingredients until smooth and lump-free. Dip fish in batter and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 5 minutes. Remove from oil, immediately season with salt, and keep warm in oven if necessary.
I served mine with a homemade dill-lemon mayonnaise.

Hi Kristen, This looks great. Living in Seattle I've never attempted to fry fish since we have access to so many great fish n' chip places. Do you have any great salmon recipes? If so, we're hosting a salmon recipe contest and giving the creator of the best recipe 15 lbs. of wild salmon! If you'd like to enter a recipe, you can do so at MarxFoods.com.
This recipe looks really good and I will definately give it a try. I am always finding new ways to fry fish and I am tired of the same ole' corn meal recipe. I always have fish in my fridge and would love to see more fish recipes on your blog.
I live in Dallas, and it seems like the only place to get really good fish is in restaraunts. Now that I have this recipe, I will not be afraid to cook it my self. Thanks!
