Servings: persons

2 pounds flour
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons onion powder
2 teaspoons Old Bay seasoning
1 teaspoon fresh black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 bottle good beer
1 cup cornstarch
2 pounds cod or other firm white fish, cut into strips
Peanut oil for frying (safflower or sunflower are fine)

1
In a large bowl, whisk together the first 8 ingredients. Whisk in the beer until the batter is smooth, without lumps.
2
In deep pot, heat oil to 350F and watch thermometer throughout frying process, turning up the heat between batches so you can maintain the 350F while frying
3
Dredge pieces of fish into cornstarch and shake off excess. Dip a few pieces of fish into batter, let excess drip off, and gently submerse in the oil (I use tongs and a splatter guard). Do not overcrowd, working in small batches. Turn fish over in oil as needed to evenly brown all sides, until golden brown is reached. Drain on rack.
4
Eat while hot, and enjoy! If you happen to have any left over, use it for excellent fish tacos the next day.
