salsa - any brand or home made

Cut fish into strips ( approx 2 inches long - 1 inch) best guess for bite size taco pieces

heat 1/4 inch of cooking oil in a skillet over medium high.

Mix In a medium mixing bowl: the beer , flour and egg , The batter should be thick like pancake batter, but if it appears clumpy or overly thick add more beer, seltzer or water until mixture is thin enough for dipping.

in seperate bowl pour panko and any desired seasonings.

Dip fish, piece by piece, in wet batter mix then gently roll each piece in panko crumbs to coat

carefully set in hot oil.
