Ingredients:

summer squash, cut into the shape of french fries
½ cup flour
½ cup sparkling water or beer
1 tsp salt

Mix the flour, water, and salt together to form a thin batter.  Heat about ¼ inch of oil in your favorite skillet. Coat the squash sticks in batter and add to the oil in batches, flipping as necessary to crisp all sides. Drain on a paper towel and sprinkle with salt. Serve as an appetizer with drinks.
