   1      pounds        -- halibut
                        cooking oil to -- allow deep frying
   1      cup           flour -- one 12-ounce bottle
   1      tablespoon    paprika and 1 1/2 tsp -- salt

Preparation:

For this batter, good quality, light-colored beers work best. The flavor of dark beers is too strong. Cut halibut into 1-inch-thick chunks. Heat oil in a deep-fat fryer to 375F Make batter by combining remaining ingredients. Dip the halibut into the batter and drop the pieces into the hot oil a few at a time. Cook the fish chunks until the batter is golden brown for just a few minutes. Halibut overcooks easily, so try not to overdo it. Remove the fish pieces from the oil and drain on paper towels; serve piping hot with your favorite accompaniments.
