Notes
- Better use a thin filet. If you use a thick fillet you will have to lower the temperature of the oil so that it cooks well inside and the batter will be more oily.
- Paprika is not traditional at all. I use it just because I love it. So you can use any spice you want like black pepper, turmeric or whatever.
- Another option is mix 50% sparkling water with the beer.
