- 1,9 litres of vegetable oil for frying
- 8 fish fillets (Hake or Kingklip)
- Salt and pepper to taste

Short Instructions
Step 1
Heat oil in a deep fryer or cast iron pot to 185 degrees C. Rinse fish, pat dry, and season well with salt and pepper.
Step 2
Combine flour, garlic powder, paprika, 2 teaspoons salt, and 2 teaspoons pepper. Stir egg into dry ingredients. Gradually mix in beer until a thin batter is formed. You should be able to see the fish through the batter after it has been dipped.
Step 3
Optionally for extra thick and crispy batter pre-dip your dry fillets in flower before dipping in batter.
Step 4
Dip fish fillets into the batter, then drop one at a time into hot oil. Fry fish, turning once until both sides are golden brown. Drain on paper towels, and serve warm with a squeeze of lemon juice.
