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!!
