Ingredients:
2 lb. Atlantic cod
3 Miller Lite beers
4 c. flour
2 tsp. cornstarch
4 Tbsp. lemon pepper
2 tsp. salt
1 qt. vegetable oil

Directions:
In a mixing bowl, combine half of the flour, half of the salt and half of the lemon pepper.  Put aside.  Next take the beers and pour into a large mixing bowl.  Slowly add the rest of the flour, lemon pepper, salt and the cornstarch.  Mix well.  Cut all fish fillets to about 2-3 oz. each.  In a large saucepan, heat the oil to about 350 degrees.  Once the oil is hot enough, dredge the fillets in the flour mixture.  Next shake off the excess flour and add to the beer batter.  Remove from batter and shake off all excess batter.  Then gently add the fillets to the oil.  

Stir with a metal spoon so that the fillets don't stick to each other.  For best results, do only a few fillets at a time.  Cook until golden brown and serve.
