Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 1/2 lb Fish fillets
Oil
1/2 c Beer
1/2 c Self-rising flour
-----THE BATTER-----
2/3 c Beer
1/3 c Lemon juice
1 Egg
1/2 c Bisquick
1/2 c Self-rising flour

THE BATTER: In a 1 1/2 quart mixing bowl, with wire
whisk, whip 2/3 cup beer, lemon juice, egg, Bisquick,
and 1/2 cup self-rising flour together till smooth.
Then let it stand ten minutes at room temperature
before using. Meanwhile place two soup or cereal
bowls on counter near the stove so that you can work
quickly in coating food and getting it into the hot
oil.

In one small bowl put 1/2 cup beer and into the other
put 1/2 cup self-rising flour. Have a cookie sheet on
hand. Cover half of it with paper towels for draining
the fried foods. The other half leave plain for
drying the coated food before you dip it into batter.

Allow 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 lbs. fish fillets to serve 4
people. Cut each fillet in half to resemble
triangles. Dip 1 piece at a time, first into beer.
Let excess drip off. Coat lightly then in the
self-rising flour.

Place floured pieces on cookie sheet to dry 2 or 3
minutes. Then spear piece with 3-tined fork or tip of
sharp knife & coat in prepared batter...evenly but
lightly, letting excess drip back into bowl of batter.

Fry few pieces at a time in 385 to 400 degrees F oil,
at least 2 1/2" to 3" deep in heavy saucepan or use
electric fry pan with temperature control dial to
regulate heat of oil.

Allow about 3 or 4 minutes per side for each piece of
batter-coated fish, turning once to brown other side.
Remove from oil with tip of sharp knife. Drain on
paper towel. Keep warm on cookie sheet in 300 degree
F oven till all pieces have been fried.

SHRIMP-DEEP FRIED: Substitute large or jumbo shrimp
preferably frozen, cooked, ready to serve shrimp, that
have been completely thawed, following the Lone John
Sliver recipe exactly, using the shrimp in place of
the fish triangles. Be sure to dip the shrimp 1st in
the beer and then into the self-rising flour before
coating in prepared batter. Fry as directed for fish
in above recipe. 1 pound serves 4.
