Keep cold, add ice cubes to assist if the beer is warm. You can also add additional ingredients for fun. Kleinfeld says he likes the way parsley looks in the batter, also turmeric can brighten the colour as well.
Pat dry and season the fish before dipping it into batter
When pulling fish out of the batter, allow the batter to naturally drip from the fish before placing it into hot oil
Cook fish at 375 degrees Clecius until desired colour, place on paper towel or drip tray before serving.
