Easy......... Beer Flour Pour enough beer into flour for a pancake batter consistency. Dry fish with paper towels before dipping into batter, deep fry. Give yourself enough room in oil this batter rises to double in size. You can also add cajun spices to batter.

I'll hold the psycho dog randsom until she gives me the recipe this evening.

Re: search for batter

OK OMC...here's my recipe for fish or just about any seafood...especially shrimp. What ya' need... 12 pack Bud Longnecks..(that's just what I prefer) Cornflakes Ritz Crackers or equivilant Eggs Flour Large zip top freezer bags are good for the process. Into one freezer bag dump a bunch of cornflakes and Ritz Crackers. Judge what ya' will need. Crush them all up fine. Leave in bag. Dump some flour in another Bag. Break some eggs into a bowl good enough for dipping into. Do up your fillets or other seafood. Dry well. Start by putting the fillets into the flour bag and coat. Then dip the coated fillets into the egg and then put into the Corflake/Ritz bag and shake up so the fillets get coated real good. Deep fry in cooker or large skillet with oil or your favorite type of oil until fillets are golden brown. Serve. This recipe is how come I always get elected to cook fish on trips or at home. It's really good. The Longnecks???? Oh...you just drink them as needed.

Re: search for batter

ok, let me get serious here. Here is the one I use when I do any fish, and that is pretty rare. It is also good for chicken. Beer Batter 2 Cups of Flour 2 Teaspoons of Cornstarch Salt and Pepper to Taste 4 Eggs, Separated 4 Cups of Beer 4 Tablespoons of Vegetable Oil Spicy Dipping Sauce 1 Cup of Ketchup 2 Tablespoons of Hot Red Salsa Sauce 4 Tablespoons of Grapefruit Juice 2 Tablespoons of Lime Juice 2 Tablespoons of Worcestershire Sauce 2 Tablespoons of Prepared Horseradish Dash of Tabasco Directions: To make the batter: In a large bowl, stir together the flour, cornstarch, salt, and pepper. Stir in the egg yolks until combined. Stir in the beer and the oil. Cover and refrigerate for 3 to 12 hours. Reserve the remaining egg whites in the refridgerator. To make the sauce: In a medium bowl, stir together all of the dipping sauce ingredients until combined. Just before serving, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer in a large grease-free bowl until soft peaks start to form. Fold the whites into the beer batter. Pour oil into a deep-fat fryer or a heavy saucepan and heat to 375 degrees. Dip each piece of fish in turn into the batter and fry until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels. Serve with the sauce.

Re: search for batter

this batter is real simple--and oh so good imo--especially w/ fresh from under the ice blue gills. quantity of ingredients determined by quantity of fillets: Eggs, flour-seasoned to your liking, I add salt, pepper, and ground onion powder to taste to flower. Peanut oil or veggie oil. Take some eggs--seperate yolks from whites- beat whites untill the start to fluff up like marange, add back 1/2 the yolks, beat some more untill fluffed up. Add a 1/2" or so oil to fry pan. Heat up. Add fillets to egg fluff--then dredge fillets in seasoned flower. Fry them till golden brown, turning and all that stuff. This is a very light "breading" and very good imo.

Re: search for batter

-thanks for trying that receipe One More Cast-- I'm one of those that use tartar or butter dip on most fish I fry up--but 'gills this way are like candy. What were you frying if I may ask?

Hooty · Dec 13, 2003

Re: search for batter

Here's da way dat Coonass fry up dem fishes. Catfish or Crappie fillets Season: Salt and cayenne pepper. I mix enough cayenne pepper in the salt to just start it turning pink. You're gonna salt the fish like you normally would so mix in the cayenne pepper to taste. Remember, cayenne is some hot caca but ya want to be able to taste it. Pat the fillets dry and sprinkle tha seasoning on both sides. Now, smear both sides of the fishes with prepared mustard (French's) and coat with yellow corn meal. I put the meal and fish in a bag and shake it up. Deep fry in HOT grease 'till it's golden and floats. Serve up with hush puppies like my bride makes with jalapeno peppers and onions. Killer dose. c/6 Hooty

Re: search for batter

Well my friends recipe is pretty simple * Flat Beer 1 box of Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix 1 Egg Use just enough beer with Muffin and Egg mix for a pancake batter consistency. CnP from LadyFish "Dry fish with paper towels before dipping into batter, deep fry. Give yourself enough room in oil this batter rises to double in size." *If you don't have enough time for the Beer to go flat, you can heat the beer in a pan first. I can vouch for this being tastey but since I like making things from scratch you can bet I'll be doing some copy and pasting from this post! These are some really good recipes here

Re: search for batter

nah, dont flatten the beer, the foam is what makes it a light batter! cajun seasoning should be added to the dry mix, mix well, then add beer dredge those fillets in a little seasoned yellow corn meal before dipping in batter or (for those of us with a heartier appetite)

take the dredged fillet, dip in egg, then in italian bread crumbs THEN fry in some 375 oil, initial heat at 395, will sear the fillet and it will shock cool the oil ... since its too hot, it will drop to around 375 and yer PERFECTAMUNDO, crack open some more beer and tell em to save ya a couple! (Ive been bamming seasoning into my batter, eggs and crumbs since emeril was a river rat up in mass, lol)

PS - Peanut oil stands up to high heat better than the others Corn muffin mix makes for a delicious pancake (!) but lousy for fish batter UNLESS you like a sweet batter, drizzle some maple syrup on the bastages if yer gonna go that route, blah (trust me, tried it, didnt like it)(muffin mix, being facetious with the syrup, lol) get you some indian head yellow corn meal, and cut in some bisquick, now yer ready to blow long john silvers fish n chips right off the map! (I go heavy on the corn meal)
