Beer Battered Fish For Fish N Chips

I love fried fish.. Always have. When dining out, nine times out of ten, i will order fish n'chips. It's getting to be very hard to find a restaurant that serves good fish n'chips anymore..so i just had to learn to make them myself.

Steps

Sift together flour , salt , and paprika.
Stir in enough beer to make batter so it is barely thick enough to coat a spoon.
Usually somewhere between one and two cans.
Set batter aside while you heat your deep-fryer or deep pan of oil to 375 degrees.
Use a candy thermometer if you need to.
Peanut oil is best but any vegetable oil will do.
Cut the cod fillets diagonally into 2 inch wide strips , and remove any pin bones from fish.
Lightly coat fish in flour and shake off excess.
This will allow batter to stick to fish.
When oil is heated , dip fish in batter , let excess drip off , then fry fillets 2 or 3 at a time until golden brown.
Drain on paper towels.
Serve with fries and tartar sauce.
