      Title: LONE JOHN SLIVER
 Categories: Fish, Kooknet, Cyberealm
      Yield: 1 Recipe
 
  2 1/2 lb Fish fillets
           Oil
    1/2 c  Beer
    1/2 c  Self-rising flour

MMMMM-------------------------THE BATTER------------------------------
    2/3 c  Beer
    1/3 c  Lemon juice
      1    Egg
    1/2 c  Bisquick
    1/2 c  Self-rising flour
 
  THE BATTER: In a 1 1/2 quart mixing bowl, with wire whisk, whip 2/3
  cup beer, lemon juice, egg, Bisquick, and 1/2 cup self-rising flour
  together till smooth. Then let it stand ten minutes at room
  temperature before using.  Meanwhile place two soup or cereal bowls
  on counter near the stove so that you can work quickly in coating
  food and getting it into the hot oil.
  
  In one small bowl put 1/2 cup beer and into the other put 1/2 cup
  self-rising flour.  Have a cookie sheet on hand. Cover half of it with
  paper towels for draining the fried foods. The other half leave plain
  for drying the coated food before you dip it into batter.
  
  Allow 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 lbs. fish fillets to serve 4 people. Cut each
  fillet in half to resemble triangles. Dip 1 piece at a time, first
  into beer. Let excess drip off. Coat lightly then in the self-rising
  flour.
  
  Place floured pieces on cookie sheet to dry 2 or 3 minutes. Then spear
  piece with 3-tined fork or tip of sharp knife & coat in prepared
  batter...evenly but lightly, letting excess drip back into bowl of
  batter.
  
  Fry few pieces at a time in 385 to 400 degrees F oil, at least 2 1/2"
  to 3" deep in heavy saucepan or use electric fry pan with temperature
  control dial to regulate heat of oil.
  
  Allow about 3 or 4 minutes per side for each piece of batter-coated
  fish, turning once to brown other side. Remove from oil with tip of
  sharp knife. Drain on paper towel. Keep warm on cookie sheet in 300
  degree F oven till all pieces have been fried.
  
  SHRIMP-DEEP FRIED: Substitute large or jumbo shrimp preferably frozen,
  cooked, ready to serve shrimp, that have been completely thawed,
  following the Lone John Sliver recipe exactly, using the shrimp in
  place of the fish triangles.  Be sure to dip the shrimp 1st in the
  beer and then into the self-rising flour before coating in prepared
  batter. Fry as directed for fish in above recipe. 1 pound serves 4.
