My grandpa Cornish makes fried catfish with this recipe. I tried it with baby squid, YUMMMMM! I am not sure about the quantities, just use what looks right.

Equipment

Pan or deep fryer

Ingredients

  • 1 bottle beer
  • 2 -3 eggs
  • pancake mix (not biscuit mix)
  • Old Bay Seasoning or favorite mixed spice
  • salt
  • pepper
  • oil (for frying)

  • limes or vinegar

Instructions

  1. Mix beer and egg.

  2. "Soak"fish (or whatever) in beer-egg mixture.

  3. Grandpa varies the soaking time, I wouldn't go less than 10 minutes.

  4. Heat oil in pan or deep fryer.

  5. Season pancake mix to taste with favorite spice mix.

  6. Take fish out of beer-egg mixture and dredge in pancake mix.

  7. Fry as normal.

  8. Salt and pepper to taste.

  9. I like to drizzle lemon or lime juice (or even vinegar) over before eating.
