Wash the red snapper fillets with lemon juice and pat them dry.

Cut the fillets into 4 to 5 inch pieces.

Season the fish with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, seafood seasoning, and smoked paprika.

In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of flour with the same seasonings used for the fish: seafood seasoning, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Gradually add ice cold beer to the flour mixture until the batter reaches a medium consistency.

Dredge the seasoned fish pieces in flour, shaking off the excess, then dip them into the batter.

Carefully lower the battered fish into hot oil and fry until golden brown, flipping them continuously.

Remove the fried fish and place them on a wire tray to drain excess oil.
