Preparation

• Pour oil into deep fryer or large heavy skillet, filling no more than 1/3 full. Heat to 375°F on medium heat.

• Sprinkle fish lightly with OLD BAY. Mix flour and 4 teaspoons OLD BAY in medium bowl. Stir in egg. Gradually add beer, stirring with wire whisk until smooth. (Sip the remainder of the beer. Do not waste good beer.)

• Dip fish into batter. Shake off excess.

• Fry fish, a few pieces at a time, 3 to 5 minutes or until golden brown, turning once to brown evenly. Drain on paper towels.
