Beer batter fish is a classic dish with a crispy exterior and tender, flaky interior. The beer in the batter adds a subtle flavor and helps create a light and airy texture. It's perfect for a quick and satisfying seafood meal.
Ingredients: 4 fillets of white fish such as cod or haddock. 1 cup all-purpose flour. 1 teaspoon baking powder. 1/2 teaspoon salt. 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. 1 cup beer lager or ale. Oil for frying such as vegetable or canola oil.
Instructions: In a bowl, mix flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Slowly pour in beer while stirring until a smooth batter forms. Heat oil in a deep frying pan or pot to 375F 190C. Dip each fish fillet into the batter, coating completely. Carefully place the battered fillets into the hot oil. Fry for 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, turning once. Remove the fish from the oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce and sides.

============= Review
Set in a psych ward, this very short dating-sim will let you explore the building, meet different Edits and Nikis. Some of them even invite you on a date after some extremely short small talk. There are four possible endings.
Spoilers ahead. It is recommended to play the game first. The review is based on my understanding/reading of the story.
I appreciate shortness in games, the ones that go to the point and don't waste time with meandering or going around the bush. Being able to tell a complete story concisely is an impressive skill. But not every story can be or should be told concisely. Some need a bit more fluff to tie parts together. This is one of the issue with this game.
4E2N is actually a remake of The 4 Edith, a Twiny Jam entry of less than 300 words. This game ditched the pictures, changed the Edith into Edit (or was it a typo?), added Nikis, and fluffed up the small talk between the characters and the descriptions of the environment. Even adding an extra choice at the start.
Going into the psych yard, you are given a choice between entering the building or stay outside a bit longer. This can be repeated until a resident come bother you about a topic you don't seem to care about. Inside the building, you can visit multiple locations, each populated by one of the Edith or the Niki. Small talk ensue (or not), before you move on to another location. Once you feel it is time to go home, you are presented with four locations, each where you meet again an Edith, prompting the ending of the game.
Aside from getting extra locations, you are able to go back and forth in the history to see other endings without having to reload the game.
Still, the remake feels off. The pages have many typos and formatting issues (especially when it comes to naming the Ediths - Even the title of the game is unclear on whether it is Edit or Edith) and lack of consistence (the characters pronouns or POV). Meeting the different characters feel incredibly shallow (is that the point the game is trying to make? I mean who goes dating in a psych ward), and neither endings feel satisfying, or much fun. One major issue I have with the remake is the addition of the Nikis, only to be told in the final choice The Niki are not yet/no longer available…
The game feels quite unfinished and incomplete, the story even in its shortness is both straightforward and confusing. After replaying I wasn't sure whether I was a resident of the psych ward or whether the Edits and Nikis were truly human.
In terms of the gameplay, aside from the game not even registering whether you've met the different Edit(h?)s or the Nikis, there is not much to it. Your choices feel quite inconsequential and hollow. It could have been nice to see you accept or refuse a date, bringing your date to a different place, or learn of what happened to the other dates if you didn't meet with them.
Was there something in the game I just didn't get? Or was it submitted as a bad joke? I don't know...

OG Review during the IFComp:
I seriously struggled with giving this entry a review at all. I don’t mind short games, I actually enjoy them a great deal! You don’t need thousands of words (like I did) to tell a good story, not when you can keep it concise and still give it a good punch.
But this was really not it. Not only was it too short, it was confusing at best. You are supposed to meet 6 different women in the backyard of a psych ward: 4 Ediths (called ‘Edit’ or ‘edit’ in the game) and 2 Nikis. Each are located in a different room and will give you a little trait about themselves before you get to choose a date location where you are to meet said woman.
Now this sound like a great trippy premise and could be quite a bit of humour in the kind of dark setting. But I felt like it missed the mark completely. The meeting of the women (each given a number), feel very shallow and unsatisfying to wanting to choose either of them, to be honest (even for fun).
Then come choosing a destination for said date. You are only given a location to choose out of four, each giving some sort of text related to the date. I think I would have liked to be able to choose which date to bring where (even if the woman indicated preferring to go somewhere else) or even going somewhere without bringing anyone (which is that I tried to do on the first run).
Some other points:
(already raised to the author) I am not sure whether this sentence was a bug or not: The Niki are not yet/no longer available… or if it was just forgotten code.
You get to go on a date with an Edit(h) even if you didn’t meet any of them before that.
Overall, this feels like a completely unfinished game put together at the last minute just for the sake of entering the Comp. That or I just don’t get the joke
