Instructions:
Cut the halibut into 2" long pieces with a width of .5"
Use the first 1/2-1 TBSP of salt to season the halibut pieces.
Fill a deep pan with 1" of the oil and bring to 375 degrees, if you don't have a thermometer throw in a scrap piece of battered fish to test the temperature.
In a medium sized bowl whisk together the flour, beer and lemon zest.
Dip the fish pieces into the batter and slowly add to the hot oil making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
Fry for 4-6 minutes or until golden brown.
Take fish out once cooked and let drip onto a paper towel, season again with the last bit of salt.
