Vegan Beer Battered Fish & Chips

Prep time 15 mins Cook time 10 mins Total time 25 mins

I love beer and I love pub-style food, the two usually go hand-in-hand don't they? But what happens when I mix the two, and take this fishy favorite to a world of meatless? Well a magical meal that features a weird vegetable that you would never think would make an awesome vegan fish alternative.
