Ingredients:

1. 4 slices Ezekiel bread
2. 1 beer (you only need about 1/4 cup)
3. 1 egg
   
4. 1 pound wild halibut or wild cod
5. 1 large sweet potato or yam
6. 1/2 teaspoon sea salt (I used habanero flavored)
7. 1-2 tablespoons unsalted butter 
8. 2-3 tablespoons olive oil
   
9. Paprika, sea salt, pepper, chili powder, red pepper flakes, and parsley
   
10. Lemon, tartar sauce and ketchup (organic, it doesn't have high fructose corn syrup)

Directions:

Sweet Potato Fries:

• Start the sweet potato fries first, as they take about an hour to bake.  My fries were suppose to be curly fries, but they turned out more like hash browns.  I used the spirooli, but usually I just cut into julienne strips (I suggest you prepare them this way).  Place cut sweet potatoes onto a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and seasonings.  I used paprika, salt, pepper, chili powder, and parsley. 
• Bake at 425 for 45-75 minutes, depending upon the thickness of your fries.

Fish:

• Leave bread out over night to dry, or cut into cubes and bake for 20 minutes at 350 in the oven.
• Place dried bread cubes into the food processor and use the "s" blade to break down the bread into fine crumbs.
• Add 1/2 teaspoon habanero sea salt and a pinch of red pepper flakes.  Add 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.  Process again.
  
• Spread bread crumbs onto a plate or brownie pan.
  
• Mix egg and beer in a shallow bowl.
• Cut the fish into smaller pieces, about 3-4 inches long.
• Dunk the fish into the beer/egg mixture and then roll in the bread crumbs until thoroughly coated.
• Heat a non-stick skillet on medium high, reduce to medium once pan is fully heated.  Add 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil.  If you are using a very large pan, heat 2 tablespoons butter and olive oil.  I had to break my fish out into two batches because my pan was a too small.
• Once the pan is heated and the butter melted, add the fish.  Cook for 4-6 minutes on each side.  The fish is pretty fragile, so the less you flip it the better.  I found that coking each side for 4 minutes worked pretty well.
  
• Place the first batch of fish on a baking sheet and stick into the oven to keep warm.  Add additional oil and butter to the pan to cook the remaining fish.
• Once done, serve with fries and garnish with a lemon wedge.  Serve with tarter sauce and ketchup.
