BEER-BATTERED TILAPIA WITH MANGO SALSA
This is a recipe I've seen credited to EatingWell.com. I made some slight revisions: more spice, only whole wheat flour, dark beer, less vinegar and lime juice and mint in the salsa instead of cilantro. I omitted the salt entirely. I used a large, shallow frying pan so I was able to cook all the pieces at once.

Steps:
- Combine the mango, onion, vinegar, lime juice and mint. Let sit in the fridge while preparing fish (if you can refrigerate it for an hour or more, that's even better).
- Combine flour, spices, and beer. Using a whisk helps get any lumps out. Put the batter in a shallow dish.
- Clean and dry the tilapia fillets. Cut in half length-wise.
- Heat the oil in a large shallow frying pan at medium-high heat.
- Coat each piece of fish with batter and place in hot oil.
- Cook on each side for about 2-3 minutes - until batter is crusty and fish is white.
- Place fish pieces on paper towels to blot excess oil.
- Serve mango salsa over fish. (I also like to serve it with a side of roasted red potatoes).
- NOTE: If you can't find a ripe mango, you can substitute one kiwi, a few large strawberries and a couple of chunks of pineapple.

Steps:
- 1. Let your fish soak in beer for at least 2 hours.
- 2. Mix your Seasoning and Corn Meal.
- 3. Shake excess beer off and roll in batter.
- 4. Fry fish in pr-heated oil on medium heat until crispy.
Tips:
- Choose the freshest tilapia fillets possible. Fresh tilapia should have a mild, slightly sweet smell and no fishy odor. The flesh should be firm and white, with no brown or yellow spots.
- Make sure the tilapia fillets are dry before you coat them in batter. This will help the batter adhere to the fish and prevent it from falling off during frying.
- Use a light touch when coating the tilapia fillets in batter. Don't press the batter into the fish, or it will become too thick and heavy.
- Fry the tilapia fillets in hot oil. This will help the batter cook quickly and evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the tilapia fillets. This will cause the oil temperature to drop and the fish will not cook evenly.
- Cook the tilapia fillets until they are golden brown and flaky. This should take about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Serve the tilapia fillets immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
