"Great for a fish fry. Mushrooms and other veggies go great too, as well as chicky tenders, and squares of marinated tofu. Experiment and have fun! Makes enough for 1 pound of seafood."

Used the batter for onion rings and they were pretty good with a mild beer flavor. The onion rings tasted different than what we are used to here in New England and the batter had a different texture, but it was good and we will use it again, probably on shrimp next time around.
