Steps:
- Prep your fish by removing the skin (if any) and cutting into pieces sized about as big as a deck of cards prior to mixing your batter.
- Preheat your oil as well. Ideal frying temperature is about 365. If the oil is not hot enough you'll end up with greasy fish. If it's too hot you'll burn the batter before the fish is cooked through. The batter needs to be used immediately after it's mixed. Baking powder is temperamental and doesn't wait for cold oil!
- Combine all the dry ingredients except for the bread crumbs, and stir well to evenly distribute. Stir in the cold water and immediately dip fish in the batter, and then do a quick coat in the bread crumbs and carefully put into the preheated oil.
- Cook until golden brown and the fish is cooked through.

CRUNCHY BATTER FRIED FISH (NO BEER)
I had great reviews with my other fish recipe recipe #104409. But I'm always striving to improve. I did some experimenting, and this fish batter is great! Serve it with recipe #104661, fries and coleslaw. Or make it into a fish sandwich with tartar sauce and lettuce on a bun. Either way, it's delish!

Steps:
- Mix together 1 cup flour, 1/4 cup cornstarch, baking powder and salt in a bowl.
- Stir in enough club soda to make a batter about the consistency of thin pancake batter. You don't want it too thick, just thick enough to nicely coat a spoon.
- Season the batter to taste if desired with seasoning of your choice. I suggest Old Bay, Lemon Pepper seasoning, or seasoned salt. set aside.
- In another bowl, mix together remaining 1/4 cup flour and 1/4 cup cornstarch.
- Heat oil in a deep pan to 375°F Use a candy thermometer if you need to. Oil in pan should be about 3" to 4" deep.
- Cut fish into portion sizes and remove any pin bones, and pat dry.
- Dredge the fish in the dry flour/cornstarch mixture. Shake off any excess.This allows the batter to stick to the fish.
- Dip dredged fish into batter allowing any excess to drip off before carefully adding the fish to the hot oil.
- Cook the fish one or two pieces at a time until golden brown.
- Drain on paper towels or better yet, on a cake cooling rack set up over paper towels.
- Serve while hot.
UNBELIEVABLE FISH BATTER
In the early 1950's, I received this recipe on an open-line, talk-radio show. It makes the lightest, crispiest batter imaginable. This makes enough to coat approximately 2 pounds of fish.

Virtually every beer-battered fish recipe looks crispy coming out of the fryer, and some even stay crispy for a few minutes, but then the inevitable sogginess sets in. Well, with this simple formula, and a few easy tricks, you can achieve a fried fish where the last bite is as crisp as the first. The keys are keeping your batter really cold and patting your fish really dry. Serve over a bed of salt 'n vinegar chips with tartar sauce and lemon.

CRISPY BEER-BATTERED FISH

Tips:
- Use the right fish: White fish, such as cod, haddock, and tilapia, work best for this recipe.
- Make sure the fish is dry: Pat the fish dry with paper towels before coating it in the batter. This will help the batter adhere to the fish.
- Use a light touch when coating the fish in batter: Don't press the fish into the batter, as this will make the batter too thick and heavy.
- Fry the fish in hot oil: The oil should be at least 350°F (175°C) before you add the fish. This will help the fish cook quickly and evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: Fry the fish in batches if necessary. Overcrowding the pan will lower the temperature of the oil and make the fish soggy.
- Cook the fish until it is golden brown and flaky: The fish is cooked when it flakes easily with a fork.
Conclusion:
This crispy fish batter recipe is a quick and easy way to make delicious fried fish. The batter is light and airy, and it doesn't require any beer. So if you're looking for a delicious and easy fried fish recipe, this is the one for you!
