Deno....for a couple of cold ones, I'll forget that you used that word. 
Anyway....I don't think the stands down here use beer in the batter. Not sure, but have never seen it.

Love the fryer setup. Where did you get it?
Edit: Ok, I see that the photo is from the link you posted. It fryer is called a disca... I have to look for one of those!

Looks like a batter I will try. The recommendation to use Catfish though, is not one I'm keen on.

Thanks McFez. My recipe is similar and with one fillet of fish you can make a bunch of tacos. The recipe says the original fish tacos were made
from shark. I would think catfish is too strong, the Talapia I use it too bland. There must be something in the middle I can find around here.

Should also be a great batter for shrimp tacos!

If the catfish are product of the USA, farm raised or wild caught, they'll be fine. Asian seafood products? I'll pass.

OK. I know much of the talapia is farm raised in Asia in polluted waters. Is farm raised catfish more mild than the type I am used to eating deep
fried in Memphis? How dangerous is the disc fryer for oil fires?

Farm raised? Wild caught? Which has a stronger flavor? Depends upon the time of year, water source, food, etc.

The only ones I've seen were stainless steel and probably pricey. Not sure.

Tried the recipe for dinner last nite on some small rockfish I caught wed. It was the best; crisp, lite, airy and delicious! I cut the recipe in
half and still threw away half the batter. Also fried up a few butterflied shrimp as well. Used an 8" cast iron skillet with an inch of oil and
placed 1st cooked battered seafood on a rack for about 30 minutes until my wife was ready for dinner. Then refried til golden.
This recipe is now in my "Keeper" recipe book. I love this method of precooking all the seafood 1st then finishing later quickly when the guests
are ready. The crispy batter also keeps the sealed-in seafood from cooling quickly. Next time I'll jazz up the dry batter a bit with more spices and
garlic.
Thanks again,
