we use beer batter for all our fish fries these days - my recipe is really simple and can be found here: http://www.crappie.com/gr8vb3/showthread.php?t=40995
the only thing I've changed since I originally posted it is I now have a propane cooker that I fry in - instead of a skillet. Keep the oil between 325 & 350 for best results.

I used McCormick's Seafood Batter & a can of beer.
