deep fryer. fried up some fresh fish in a batter i made from beer and flour.
what tasteless crap.
also, the batter fries into the fry cage so it sticks to the bottom.
anybody (fishingwithblue) know a good simple tasty recipe for a nice dry coating?
promised my kids fish sticks from their fish but i suck in the kitchen.


HELP!!!

For a stickey batter, add an egg.

I will have to look for that, I don't think I have ever seen that up this way??

I just use seasoned flour and egg wash, I add lemon or heat after if liked.

One thing CT Make sure the oil is HOT!! 375 or better (I start at 400) to start as the temp will o down as soon as you add your stuff! You will stay chrispy and not oily this way!

You want a flash fry if you want crispy fish. If the oil is cold, the fish will be oily and mushy. I use plain old fashion corn meal for all of my frying needs of fish. Another thing to note is before you drop the fish in your oil, take some of your batter and drop a little in your oil. If it instantly bubbles and cooks without burning the oil is hot enough. If it just slowly begins to bubble or just roll around the oil is to cold. You can also take a drop or 2 of water to check it. If it instantly vaporizes and the oil isn't burning your good to go.

I always tell people who question my cooking that I didn't get my mid section by not being able to cook.

"Uncle Bucks" from Bass Pro is good.

So Is "Frying Magic"
