- In a large bowl, combine the flour, garlic powder, and seafood seasoning. Add the egg, and then slowly add the beer. Whisk to combine, making a semi-thick liquid batter. (It should be thinner than pancake batter but thicker than buttermilk.) Set aside.1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon garlic powder, 2 teaspoons seafood seasoning, 1 large egg, 12 ounces beer
- Working in batches, take a piece of fish, and dip it into the batter. Make sure to coat the fish evenly on all sides.
