Choose your favorite brew for this beer battered fish. Depending on the season you could get really creative with this fish and chips recipe. You could go with an apple beer, pumpkin beer, heck go with something way off the wall like a peppermint beer? I don’t know how good that would taste so you may want to drink a few beers before trying it.

If you want to stick to the classic fish and chips just go with a nice cheap beer, nothing fancy. For some reason I think the cheaper beers produce better flavors. Again, totally up to you – it’s your beer battered fish and chips! We’re making this recipe in a dutch oven, if you don’t have one you can get one here. We’re also using this particular house seasoning.
