Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 5-6 tilapia fillets (cut it half)
  • 1 can beer
  • 2 cups flour
  • sprinkle of garlic powder
  • sprinkle of chili powder
  • sprinkle of sage powder
  • sprinkle of cumin powder
  • sprinkle of salt and pepper
  • oil for frying
FOR THE FRIES: refer to this recipe but cut the fries thicker than usual, no sprinkle of parmesan cheese..

Method
 

  1. Pat dry the tilapia fillets with paper towel. In a large bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, garlic powder, chili powder, sage powder, cumin powder, salt and pepper. Pour in the beer and stir until well incorporated. The batter should be in stirring consistency but thick enough to hold onto the fillets.
  2. Heat up oil in a frying pot. Drench the fillets 3 pieces at a time. Slowly drop 2-3 drenched fillets into the hot oil. Fry the fillets, turning occasionally, until golden brown. About 7-8 minutes. Transfer the fried fish into a platter lined with paper towel. Repeat with the remaining fillets.
  3. On another frying pot, fry the fries. I used the double-fry method. The potatoes were cut a little bit thicker.
