peanut oil (or) vegetable oil
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. Kosher salt
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 tsp. paprika
1/8 tsp. black pepper
1 (12 oz.) can lager beer
2 egg whites, whipped to soft peaks
1 1/2 lb. firm white fish fillets (like cod or haddock)

Heat oil to 375°F. While oil is preheating: In medium bowl, mix flour, salt, garlic, paprika and pepper. Mix in beer, then fold in egg whites. Dip fish fillets into mixture, allow excess to drip off. Place in oil, fry about 4 minutes, turning once, until golden brown. Drain on paper towels, serve with tartar sauce.

Tartar Sauce:

1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tbsp. pickle relish (dill)
1 tbsp. lemon juice
1 tbsp. capers (rinsed & drained)
1 tsp. Dijon mustard

Mix well. This also refrigerates well.
