Beer-Battered Walleye

Instructions

1. 1
   Heat the oil

   Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot over medium-high heat to 375°F.

2. 2
   Make the batter

   In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Slowly whisk in the beer until a smooth batter is formed.

3. 3
   Coat the walleye

   Dip each walleye fillet in the batter, letting any excess drip off.

4. 4
   Fry until golden and crispy

   Carefully place the battered fillets into the hot oil and fry for about 4–5 minutes, until the batter is golden brown and crispy.

5. 5
   Drain and serve

   Use a slotted spoon or tongs to remove the fish from the oil and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Serve the beer-battered walleye hot with tartar sauce and lemon wedges on the side. Enjoy!
