In a bowl, mix the flour with the baking powder, paprika, oregano, garlic powder, salt, egg, and mustard. Mix until combined. Gradually add the beer and use a whisk to mix. Dip the fish fillets until covered and then remove the excess. Heat the oil in a semi-deep saucepan and fry the fish fillets. Place on absorbent paper to remove excess oil. Serve the fried fish with pico de gallo and limes.
