Vegetable oil
1 pound fish fillets or uncooked peeled deveined large shrimp, thawed if frozen
3 to 4 tablespoons Original Bisquick?
1 cup Bisquick Original baking mix
1/2 cup beer
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon salt

Heat oil (1 1/2 inches) in heavy saucepan or deep fryer to 350 degrees F.

Lightly coat fish with 3 to 4 tablespoons Bisquick.

Mix remaining ingredients with hand beater until smooth. (If batter is too thick, stir in additional beer, 1 tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency.) Dip fish into batter, letting excess drip into bowl.

Fry fish about 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown; drain. Serve hot and, if desired, with tartar sauce.

Makes 4 or 5 servings.
