The other day, we bought Fish & Chips and some Fried Seafood from a local Fish & Chips shop. It cost us a lot and we were totally disappointed. The food was not worth the money we spent. Today I cooked this amount of Beer Battered Fried Seafood using Marinara Mix (Seafood Mix) that I bought from a fish shop, which cost less than half the cost we spent at the Fish & Chips shop. And you know it is easy to cook.

1

Heat deep Oil to 180℃. Sprinkle Rice Flour (OR Plain Flour) over Seafood pieces, and coat them well.
2

In a mixing bowl, combine Plain Flour, Rice Flour (OR Potato Starch, Corn Starch), Fine Salt and Garlic Powder. Add COLD Beer and mix well.

Dip the Seafood pieces in the batter and fry in the oil until nicely browned and crispy. Seafood can be cooked fairly quickly. Take them out and lay them on a rack to drain the oil.
