Real quick, easy, and fun dinner that can be put together quickly. We can get frozen tilapia that's only 40 mg of sodium per 4 ounces, and beer batter doesn't need salt really. A really tasty treat. Kids might like it, I know I do!

An easy dinner that may get kids to eat fish. Once fried, the coating on the tilapia and onion rings is crispy. The ingredients only had garlic powder as a seasoning, and we were unsure of how that would work. Turns out, garlic powder is all that's needed in the batter.
