This is so good light, crispy, the fish inside is juicy and glistening. Depending on the beer you use the taste could be different. I like to jazz it up sometimes adding in microbrews for different flavor

BEER BATTERED BASS

A study conducted at Auckland University in New Zealand leads researchers to believe that beer-battered fish may be healthier than fish fried in other batters. The alcohol in the beer causes the cooked batter to form a hard shell, keeping it from absorbing much of the frying oil. The researchers suggest using one cup of beer for each cup of flour!
