  • 2 tbsp Fresh lime juice
  • 1/4 cup Fresh cilantro(optional)

    Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels and cut them into strips about 3 inches long and 1 inch wide.

  2. 2

    Whisk together the flour, baking powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl.

    Slowly pour the cold beer into the flour mixture, whisking gently until the batter is smooth and has the consistency of pancake batter.

    Heat the vegetable oil in a heavy skillet or deep fryer to 375°F (190°C).

    Dredge each piece of fish in a little extra dry flour, then dip into the beer batter until fully coated.

    Drain the fried fish on a wire rack or paper towels to maintain crunchiness.
