Peel the eggplant and cut it in half.

Slice the eggplant into pieces, as thin or thick as desired.

In a bowl, combine 1 and 1/2 teaspoons of kelp granules, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and the juice of half a lemon to create a marinade.

Add the eggplant slices to the marinade, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for about 3 hours.

In a mixing bowl, combine 1 and 1/2 cups of unbleached all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of kelp granules, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper.

Pour in a 12 oz bottle of beer into the flour mixture, pouring on the side to minimize foaming, and mix slowly.

Remove the eggplant from the marinade and dry it off thoroughly.

Coat the eggplant slices with salt and pepper.

Dredge the eggplant in flour to help the batter stick.

Heat oil in a deep fryer and add the battered eggplant slices to the hot oil to fry.
