Steps:
- Pour the canola oil into a deep pan or pot and place over a medium heat. The oil should be about 2 inches deep.
- In a bowl add 1 cup of the flour, beer, salt, pepper and paprika.
- Whisk until smooth.
- Cut the tilapia into strips and pat dry.
- Place the remaining flour onto a shallow plate.
- Bake the french fries as per the directions on the package.
- Once the oil has reached 375 degrees F, start to fry the fish.
- Roll each piece into the flour and shake off the excess.
- Next dip the fish into the batter and let the excess drip back into the bowl.
- Gently place the fish into the hot oil and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown.
- Take the fish from the oil and place on some paper towel to drain.
- You will have to do this in several stages so it's a good idea to place the cooked fish on a baking sheet to keep warm in the oven while you continue with the remaining tilapia.

CRISPY BEER BATTER FISH & CHIPS
Virtually every beer-battered fish recipe looks crispy coming out of the fryer, and some even stay crispy for a few minutes, but then the inevitable sogginess sets in. Well, with this simple formula, and a few easy tricks, you can achieve a fried fish where the last bite is as crisp as the first. The keys are keeping your batter really cold and patting your fish really dry. Serve over a bed of salt 'n vinegar chips with tartar sauce and lemon.

- Heat oil in a deep-fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Pour beer into the flour mixture and whisk, adding more as needed, until batter is the consistency of thick pancake batter. Dip fish pieces into the batter to coat; lift out and let excess drip off.

Steps:
- Mix all the dry ingredients together.
- Whisk the egg and add to dry ingredients.
- Add beer gradually while mixing till the batter gets liquid enough.
- Dip the tilapia fillets in the batter and let it rest for a minute.
- In a pan add the oil and put on medium heat.
- Add the tilapia to the pan and fry till each side is golden brown.
- After they're done remove and put on paper towel and let it cool for few minutes before serving.
- You can serve this with boiled rice and/or my Minty Cucumber Salad.
Tips
- Use the freshest tilapia fillets you can find. Freshness will produce the best flavor and texture.
- Soak the tilapia fillets in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes before breading and frying. This will help to tenderize the fish and give it a more flavorful crust.
- Use a light beer for the batter. A heavy beer will make the batter too thick and dense.
- Make sure the batter is cold before frying the fish. This will help to create a crispy crust.
- Fry the fish in hot oil. The oil should be at least 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the fish. This will cause the oil temperature to drop and the fish will not cook evenly.
- Cook the fish until it is golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature of the fish should be at least 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Serve the fish immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
Conclusion
Crispy beer-battered tilapia is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The fish is tender and flaky on the inside and crispy on the outside. The beer batter adds a light and airy flavor that complements the fish perfectly. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce for a complete meal.
