04 In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt and pepper.
05 Add beer and beaten egg and whisk until well blended and the batter is light, smooth and quite thin (like whipping cream).
06 In a medium size saucepan or a frying pan, heat oil to 350°F.
07 Dredge fish pieces in the flour mixture.
08 Drop the floured fish pieces into the batter to coat, then lift out with tongs and let the excess batter drip off.
09 Drop the battered fish into the hot oil and cook for about 1 minute, turn over and cook for an additional 1 minute or until light golden brown.
10 Do not overcook.
11 Remove from oil onto paper towels to absorb any excess cooking oil.
12 Serve immediately with lemon wedges and tartar sauce.
