Beer Batter-Fried Fish

 

Vegetable oil

1

lb walleye, sole or other delicate- to medium-texture fish fillets, about 3/4 inch thick

3

to 4 tablespoons Original Bisquick® mix

1

cup Original Bisquick® mix

1/2

cup regular or nonalcoholic beer

1

large egg

1/2

teaspoon salt

Tartar sauce, if desired

• 1 In 4-quart Dutch oven or deep fryer, heat oil (1 1/2 inches) to 350°F. Cut fish into 8 serving pieces. Lightly coat fish with 3 to 4 tablespoons Bisquick mix.
• 2 In medium bowl, mix remaining ingredients except Tartar Sauce with hand beater until smooth. (If batter is too thick, stir in additional beer, 1 tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency.) Dip fish into batter, letting excess drip into bowl.
• 3 Fry batches of fish in oil about 4 minutes, turning once, until golden brown. Remove with slotted spoon; drain on paper towels. Serve hot with Tartar Sauce.
