2 cups flour
1-1/2 cups beer
2 eggs, beaten
1 tsp. Pepper
1 tsp. Onion powder
1/4 tsp. Turmeric
2 lbs. fillet of sole
vegetable oil for deep-frying
Blend flour, beer, eggs, pepper, onion powder, and turmeric well, but do not over beat. Batter should "plop" from a spoon. If it is too thin, thicken with additional flour. Dry each piece of fish with paper towels. Heat oil to 375 'F in an automatic deep-fryer. Dip fish pieces in batter and deep-fry for 5-10 minutes. Turn occasionally. Drain fish on paper towels and serve immediately with tartar sauce. Serves 6
