Beer Batter Halibut

Ingredients

 * couple of pounds of halibut
 * enough cooking oil to allow deep frying
 * 1 	cup 	Flour
 * one 12-ounce bottle of
 * beer
 * 1 	tbsp 	Of paprika and 1 ½ tsp
 * salt

Directions
For this batter, good quality, light-colored beers work best. The flavor of dark beers is too strong. Cut halibut into 1-inch-thick chunks. Heat oil in a deep-fat fryer to 375 °F. Make batter by combining remaining ingredients. Dip the halibut into the batter and drop the pieces into the hot oil a few at a time. Cook the fish chunks until the batter is golden brown ~ just a few minutes. Halibut overcooks easily, so try not to overdo it. Remove the fish pieces from the oil and drain on paper towels; serve piping hot with your favorite accompaniments.
