Halibut in Beer Batter

1lb halibut
4 cups beer batter
1/2 cup pecans, chopped roughly

Heat oil in deep fat fryer to 375 degrees.
Cut halibut into 6 pieces (1-1/4 ounces each) or large 1 x 1-inch
squares. Mix pecans in beer batter. Coat each halibut piece
thoroughly with beer batter and drop, one by one, into 375-degree
oil, stirring carefully so halibut won't sink to the bottom and clump
together. Cook about 4 to 5 minutes or until halibut is golden
brown. Drain halibut on paper towels until ready to serve. Serve
these with fresh fries made from baked potato quarters from
which the skin has been removed. Fry these in the same oil until a
golden brown crust has been formed -- watch carefully. Serve
them with a small cup of bernaise sauce and a small cup of cocktail
sauce for dipping.
