Beer Battered Fish are fish fillets coated in fish batter and deep fried until golden brown. I used tilapia fillets for this recipe, but you can always use other fish varieties. The reason why I chose tilapia has something to do with availability and cost.
The fish batter recipe uses beer as its main ingredient. It gives the batter a nice flavor. Serve this with some homemade French fries or potato chips for you to have your own homemade version of the Fish and Chips.

Would it be possible to substitute rice flour far the all purpose flour?
Thank You

I do not recommend rice flour for this recipe because the batter won’t be as light as AP flour. Try cornstarch or potato starch instead. Although these would make your final outcome crispier.
