1 cup flour
2 eggs, separated
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup beer
Salt
Pepper
2 lb (1 k) cod fillets o any other white fish
1 teaspoon chopped parsley
1 teaspoon chopped cilantro leaves
Vegetable oil, for frying

Preparation:
Put the flour in a large bowl and whisk in the egg yolks and olive oil. Add beer and whisk to make a smooth batter. Season with salt. Let mixture stand for 1 hour.
Sprinkle fish with parsley and cilantro leaves and combine in a bowl. Refrigerate until batter is ready.
Heat oil in a skillet or in a deep fry pan over medium heat.
Whip egg whites until stiff and fold into the batter. Season fish with salt. Carefully dip fish into the batter and fry until golden.
