MY GREATEST FISH'N
RECIPE'S

DEEP FRIED BLUEGILLS
8 STEP RECIPE
First you need a beer batter. 1. Open three cans of beer.
2. Pour 1 can into a bowl and stir with a whisk or fork.
3. Filet your fish while drinking the other 2 beers.
4. The beer in the bowl should be flat by then, add some
flour, a few bread crumbs,garlic powder, a pinch of
baking powder,seasoning salt to make a thin batter.
3 .Roll the filets and coat in corn starch first
which is the binder for holding the batter onto the filet.
5. Dip the filet in the batter and wipe the extra batter off
of the filet on the bowl edge. 6. Drop the filet into the
deep fryer and cook until golden brown. Getting hungry? I am.
The filets can be rolled into bread crumbs after battering if desired.
7. While the filets are cooking slice up some onion rings.
8. Deep fry these rings in the same batter after the fish are done.
If you do everything right you will have some of the finest eating
available and corn starch and beer batter all over the place.
