Batter Fried Fish

Seafood! :-)  My husband is a big fan of fish and this recipe was created specially for him on a Sunday afternoon.


It is a simple fried fish recipe that uses a wonderful batter made using beer! Very similar to a fish and chips recipe but with a twist.


If you do not want to use beer then just use soda instead. I had beer at home and the taste is slightly better if you use beer.


Here is another one of Dhruv's favourite recipes...
