Fried Fish (the Fish of Fish and Chips)

1. 1

   ** You can alter the amounts of garlic powder and salt to suit your taste.

2. 2

   ** You may need to add more bread crumbs as you go, so that you can coat all of the fish pieces evenly.

3. 3

   Start by heating a skillet with about an inch and a half of canola oil or another vegetable oil.

4. 4

   Next, mix together the pancake mix and egg in a medium-sized bowl.

5. 5

   Then add in a little beer at a time, stirring constantly, until you get a pancake batter-like consistency.

6. 6

   A little bit on the thinner side would probably be best.

   Now to the batter add in the garlic powder.

8. 8

   On a separate plate, lay out a thin layer of the bread crumbs.

9. 9

   Take each piece of fish, dip each side in the batter, and then coat each side in the bread crumbs.

10. 10

    Now place a few pieces of fish into the pan at a time to fry.

11. 11

    You will fry the fish for about 3 minutes on each side until the outside is browned and crisp and the fish is cooked through.

12. 12

    As the fish is done cooking, transfer it to a paper-bag lined plate to drain off some of the excess grease.

13. 13

    While the fish is still very hot, sprinkle a little salt on top.

14. 14

    Repeat this process until all of the fish is cooked, drained, and seasoned.

    Truth: when I made this I served it to my family with Wendys French fries from the drive-through.
