beer battered fish

Crispy fried fillet

Beer battered fish is fish—typically cod, haddock, or another firm white variety—dipped in a batter made with beer before deep-frying.

The carbonation creates a light, crispy coating.

It's the centerpiece of British fish and chips: We stopped at a pub for beer battered fish and mushy peas.
