Posted: November 16th, 2007, 10:39 pm
I'm giving away this recipe on the condition that you use it on STRIPED Bass ... NOT Largemouth! 
2 pounds STRIPED Bass filets
1 lemon cut in half
1 cup flour
1/2 cup oil (I prefer Canola or Peanut)
salt and pepper to taste
Batter
1 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon chili powder or cayenne pepper (use both for extra zing)
1 cup beer (I prefer Newcastle for the recipe and the meal)
Slice filets into approximately 2-inch strips.
Squeeze lemon juice onto fillets and roll in flour seasoned with salt and pepper.
Prepare batter by combining flour, salt and chili powder/cayenne pepper. Gradually blend in beer until thoroughly mixed.
Heat oil in fish fryer or other appropriate pan that will accomodate entire fillet.
Dip filets in batter and fry until golden brown (2 minutes on average).
Drain on paper towel to remove excess grease.
Enjoy with tartar sauce, home fries and more beer (in a glass, not on the fish
).
Serves 4-6.
