Recipe by:http://everydaypaleo.com/beer-battered-fish-n-chips/

Serves 5-7 people so cut the recipe in half if needed.

3-4 pounds wild caught alaskan cod filets( we used Texas Kingfish)

1 cup tapioca flour

1/4 cup gluten free beer or sparkling water

2 eggs

pinch salt

1-2 cups of lard or palm shortening for deep frying (I recommend using Palm Shortening from Tropical Traditions as they only source from sustainable farms – for lard check out Fatworks) (We used even healthier just watch the temp Red Palm Oil)

1. combine beer batter ingredients in bowl and whisk

2. cut cod into large chunks and dip in batter

3. deep fry in pre-heated lard at med high, make sure the oil is hot before frying the fish, deep fry until golden brown and fish flakes apart when cut open

You can also use Halibut or other premium fish of your choice such as mahi mahi or haddock or what we used kingfish
