Original Recipe: Beer Battered Fish
Gluten-Freed by A: I started with a highly reviewed recipe from allrecipes.com, so I was already expecting this to be good. I cut the suggested portions in half since it was only going to be for two, and I still had a ton left over. I only ended up using about 1/4 of the batter, so I saved the rest since there is some fish left as well. I think the prep time is a little optimistic, but luckily I wasn't too crushed for time.

The fish turned out better than I was expecting. Having never done fried fish before, I was experimenting with cooking times and making sure they were just the right shade of golden brown. I also used frozen cod, but I think fresh cod would have been better. They turned out very well and we both kept eating waaaaay past the point of being full.

This beer battered fish was simply awesome! The cooked batter was brown and crunchy and not too oily. It was so very satisfying with a little bit of tartar sauce and some oven-baked french fries. It was also really great to be able to have what is generally a gluten-filled restaurant classic at home and gluten-free!
