Tempura-Style Fried Fish

One of the fascinating things about food is that similar recipes are found in cultures around the globe. People the world over agree that crispy, beer-battered fish is delicious whether cooked tempura-style in Japan, served with chips in Britain's most iconic dish, or fried up on Fridays in Eastern European kitchens to be eaten cold on Shabbat. Served with tangy tartar sauce that gets a little heat from my horseradish, this mouthwatering dish might even be out of this world - it's that good.
