I find a beer with a more "Malty" taste is the best and yes your beer is that kind. Beer/pancake batter is the closest I've ever gotten to a fish and chip store. The beer makes it a light bubbly batter.

I have to admit that while I was raised on the beer batter approach, I much prefer the cornmeal, especially on catfish.

Mnay restaurants use cornmill flour which is less gritty than corn mill.I personally use a deep fryer and peanut oil. Depending on the fish thickness as to temperature .I prefer cajun seasoning myself really.

That's the only thing my family has ever used. Dip in an egg, milk mixture, with salt and pepper, roll in the corn meal and drop it in the hot oil. I've watched people fillet fish but, if they're not super big, I fry them whole. You know you cooked it right when you can pull the skeleton right out of the meat. mmm mmm good!

I hope to get in some trout fishing this year... Along with some bullheads and whatever other panfish I can get.

It may be helpful to note that the tempura dish of battered cod cubes has absolutely nothing to do with pan fried, corn meal dredged fillets. They are both great dishes and I have both often but they have about as much in common as a rib eye and a roast.

Tempura cod filets are also unlike the beer batter cod filets as the breading is a lot thinner.

You reminded me that I forgot to buy the catfish filets this afternoon while on my five store journey.

You are right there is a difference between beer battered cod and tempura cod, but it isn't much difference. A couple of extra ounces of beer and you have tempura-lite.
