Beer Battered Fish Recipe
This beer battered fish recipe is super simple to prepare, especially when you use an
electric skillet (compare prices). That's because the electric skillet keeps the temperature of the oil constant. That's crucial so the beer battered fish doesn't get greasy. Don't worry about serving kids the beer in this fried fish recipe. It cooks out.
