Beer Battered Halibut Recipe
The batter for this beer battered halibut recipe is slightly different, in that the batter
also has cornmeal in it, adding a little crunchy texture to the fried halibut.
If you are using steaks make sure you remove the skin. You can fry the halibut as steaks or
you can remove the bone and cut it up into smaller pieces about 1 inch square.
