1-First, mix the dry ingredients together in a bowl: 2 cups of flour, 3 tablespoons of grated parmesan cheese, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder. In a separate bowl, combine the wet ingredients: 2 tablespoons of oil, 3 beaten eggs, and 1 3/4 cups of flat beer or a similar beverage.

2-Next, pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently to form the batter. Heat vegetable oil to 350 degrees Fahrenheit in a deep fryer or deep pan for even frying. Dip the halibut chunks into the batter, letting excess drip off, then carefully add them to the hot oil.

3-Fry the halibut until it’s golden brown, which takes about 2-3 minutes per side. For the vegetables, make sure they are dry or lightly dusted with flour before dipping in the batter and frying similarly. Once done, drain everything on paper towels and serve immediately to keep the crisp texture.

4-Preparing the Halibut: Begin by cutting 1 1/2 pounds of halibut into 1-inch chunks and patting them dry. This step helps the batter stick better and ensures a crispy finish. Prepare the vegetables too: slice 1 onion into rings, peel and cut 2 broccoli stalks into 1/4-inch pieces, use 8 mushrooms whole or sliced, and slice 1 pepper into rings.

5-Frying and Serving: Heat the oil carefully and monitor the temperature. Dip each piece into the batter and fry in batches to avoid overcrowding. The recipe serves 4 and takes around 20 minutes, making it perfect for quick meals.
