Make this a new version of Britain's fish and chips with (frozen) steak fries. Lemon tarts from the bakery would be good for dessert.

Ingredients

1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/3 cup flat beer
Vegetable oil (for frying)
2 4- to 6-ounce catfish fillets

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Whisk 1/3 cup flour, salt, and pepper in medium bowl to blend. Whisk in beer.
