Beer Battered Crappie

One teaspoon salt
One egg
One cup beer
1 teaspoon Paprika
1/4 of cooking oil(Crisco)
1 cup of flour
1 cup of beer

Place all the above ingredients in a mixing bowl and stir until smooth. The mixture will be a little thin, you want it to be thin, but not too thin, you want it to stick to the fillets. By adding more flour or beer to get it just right..

The secret is to really dry the fillets. I spread them on paper towels and pat dry. Then use new paper towels and move the fillets to the new towels drying each one. When the fillets are dry I salt them lightly and place in the batter.

I use a quarter of an inch of Crisco or Crisco cooking oil and cook the fish fillets until golden brown. Sometimes I cook the fillets using a deep fat fryer. Either way the fish are very good.
