Spiced Beer-Battered Fish

1. 1

   Place flour and paprika in a large bowl. Stir in egg. Gradually whisk in beer until a smooth batter forms.

2. 2

   Pour oil into a large heavy-bottomed saucepan to a depth of 4 inches. Heat on medium-high heat (oil is ready when a cube of bread crisps quickly without absorbing oil).

3. 3

   Dip fish, a piece at a time, into batter. Let any excess drain off. Deep-fry fish, in batches, for 3 mins or until golden brown and cooked. Using a slotted spoon, transfer fish to paper towels.

4. 4

   Reheat oil between batches as necessary. Serve fish with lemon wedges.
