Fill the deep fryer pot halfway with peanut oil.

Attach a thermometer to the pot and heat the oil to 375°F.

Pour 1 can of Bud Light beer into a bowl.

Sift 2 cups of all-purpose flour into the bowl with the beer to add air and lighten the batter.

Add Old Bay seasoning, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to the flour mixture and stir lightly to combine without losing air.

Coat the grouper fillets lightly with flour before dipping them into the beer batter.

Dip the floured grouper fillets into the beer batter, allowing excess to drip off.

Carefully place the battered fillets into the hot oil, dropping them away from you to avoid splashing.

Fry the fillets until golden brown, checking for doneness as needed.

Serve the fried grouper with homemade tartar sauce.
