fisher Posted June 5, 2007 Report Posted June 5, 2007 I have been getting better at fileting fish lately but want to cap it off with a good batter. What I do now is basically add some beer to flour and mix in some salt, pepper and garlic powder. Dip and fry. Doesn;t seem to come out that good. Any suggestions of a better tasting recipe - spicy and non-spicy?

gussser Posted June 5, 2007 Report Posted June 5, 2007 No batter---try this--Cut fish into chunks about 1"x1"x 1/2" thick. Place in boiling h2o for 10 minutes. Dip in drawn butter or margerine. If you like lobster you'll like this... Called poor mans lobster. Best if you use old bay in h2o. JK
fishinfool Posted June 5, 2007 Report Posted June 5, 2007 Hey fisher Check out my Beer Batter post in "Horrible Product" thread. Cheers Stan
Larry Posted June 5, 2007 Report Posted June 5, 2007 This one is one of the best I have tried... 3/4 cup of flour 1/4 cup of corn starch 2-TSP. Baking powder 2-TSP. SALT 1- cup of water If you replace the water with 1 cup of flat beer it makes a nice difference. Also don"t put fish in oil until it reaches 375 degrees. This batter is nice and crispy. LARRY

Stoty Posted June 6, 2007 Report Posted June 6, 2007 For a unique tasting batter, take your favorite flavour of potato chips, crush them up really fine, and there ya go! Dip the fish in egg first, then roll in the chips. All Dressed chips are an excellent choice!
JustinHoffman Posted June 6, 2007 Report Posted June 6, 2007 How about the Fish Crisp "Maple Smoke" - sound like it has a pleasing taste!
Clampet Posted June 6, 2007 Report Posted June 6, 2007 Get a rolling pin (about $3.00 at the Dollare Store). Use it to roll cereals like Corn Flakes, or whatever, into a fine dust and mix it about 50/50 with flour, and ..Voila!
huntervasili Posted June 6, 2007 Report Posted June 6, 2007 Use Gerritts batter... I just had some walleye in it tonight and I have used it a bunch... gotta love it!

fishdawg Posted June 6, 2007 Report Posted June 6, 2007 what kind of dollar store charges $3 for anything? LOL i like a mix of potatoe chip crumbs, cornmeal, whole wheat flour & garlic pepper/salt & cayenne after an egg bath

Canuck2fan Posted June 6, 2007 Report Posted June 6, 2007 (edited) There are already some good sounding recipes here. If your batter you are already making isn't tasting that good for you it might just be because you aren't seasoning the flour heavily enough, think lawry's or emerils seasoning salt. As stated you can make any flour batter "crisper" by adding some corn starch to the flour. One step you didn't mention was dipping the fish in flour first. You always have to dip the fish in flour first before adding any batter or dipping it in the egg/water mixture before rolling in the breading mix to allow the batter stick to the fish better. If you want to cheat and make the batter faster just buy any "complete" pancake mix and just enough beer so that it is the right consistency, it is usually already seasoned enough. If you want to spice this one up to be hot just add some red hot pepper sauce so you have the right amount of tang for you. For the recipe made with crushed up potato chips you can do the same type of preparation by crushing up your favorite type of cracker as well. Seasoned bretons are awesome but you have to watch so you don't burn them.... Edited June 6, 2007 by Canuck2fan
fisher Posted June 6, 2007 Author Report Posted June 6, 2007 Thanks for all the suggestions and I did not relaize that here was a whole section on Fish recipes...thanks Gerritt.
duber Posted June 6, 2007 Report Posted June 6, 2007 My batter is 1/3 flour , 1/3 bread crumbs , 1/3 cornmeal , onion salt , garlic salt and pepper.Throw it all in a bag.Take your fillet and dredge it in flour then in to some Franks Redhot then into the bag and into the frying pan.I save the beer to drink with the fish Wes
