Super easy

gulf black drum fillets (about 5 oz. each)
1 gallons peanut oil
1 cups self-rising flour (plus more for dredging)
1 teaspoons mustard powder
1 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoons mixed dried herbs
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
ounces lager beer (enough to produce a batter consistency)

Beach Blanket Fish Fry Directions

In a large fryer, heat the oil to 375° (we used an outdoor fryer).

Make the batter by combining the flour, mustard powder, baking soda, salt, herbs, sugar and beer in a large bowl.

Dredge the fish fillets in flour before dipping into the batter mix.

Carefully drop the fish into oil and cook until golden brown—approximately 3 to 4 minutes.

Drain on paper towels and serve.
