For a thicker batter, use slightly less beer. For a thinner batter, add a little more. Ensure the oil is hot before adding the fish to achieve a crispy crust. Don't overcrowd the skillet – fry the fish in batches to maintain the oil temperature. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces, such as tartar sauce, lemon wedges, or a spicy aioli.
