- In a large Dutch oven, cast iron fryer, or heavy bottom pan add the oil and start preheating it over medium to medium high heat.
- In a medium mixing bowl add the flour, sugar, baking powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt.
- Stir with a wooden spoon to combine.
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the eggs and milk.
- Stir to combine and until no dry bits remain and a smooth batter forms.
- Prepare the fish by patting it dry with paper towels or a clean dish towel.
- When the oil reaches 375 degrees F. (I like to use a paddle thermometer to monitor my oil temperatures when frying) dip a piece of fish in the batter and place the battered fish in the hot oil. Repeat with a few more pieces, taking care to not crowd the pan.
- Allow the fish to cook until deep golden brown, about 3-4 minutes before flipping and then allow to cook on that side for an additional 3-4 minutes.
- Remove with a slotted spoon or a spider strainer and place the cooked battered fish on a plate or rimmed baking sheet lined with paper towels to absorb the extra grease.
- Repeat until you've used all your fish
- Serve right away and enjoy hot. Serve with fresh squeezed lemon on top and tartar sauce if you'd like. We love fried fish with hush puppies and coleslaw on the side.

- In a large bowl, whisk together the first 8 ingredients. Whisk in the beer until the batter is smooth, without lumps. Consistency should be similar to pancake batter. If too thick, add a bit of water to loosen. Set aside.
- In deep pot large enough to prevent over-crowding or deep fryer, heat oil to 350F. Keep watch on cooking thermometer throughout frying process, turning up the heat between batches so you can maintain the 350F while frying (maintaining oil temperature is essential for attaining crispy texture that's not too greasy.)
- Use paper towels to fully pat dry all excess moisture from the fish fillets on all sides. Place enough cornstarch in a shallow pan, to be used for dredging.
- Working in batches, dredge a few fish fillets into cornstarch and shake off excess. Dip fish into batter, let excess drip off, and gently submerse in the oil (I use a splatter guard). Do not overcrowd; be sure pieces do not touch each other or they will stick together.
- Turn fish over in oil as needed to evenly brown all sides, about 2 minutes or until golden brown and crisp. Place on rack lined with paper towels and keep warm in oven while you finish frying remaining fish, or serve as you cook. Fish fry is best enjoyed immediately.
