This is the lightest and crispiest batter ever. Absolulely delish.One problem, my husband doesn't want to take me to fish fry anymore, he likes this better!!!

    Pretty good, but the batter seemed thin and created too much. I think I'd try decreasing the amount of beer next time, and make less overall. Nonetheless, dinner was great. Thanks.

    I had the beer on hand (for the beer batter bread), so a can went into this. Very nice batter. This made quite a bit, so I put some aside prior to putting the fish into it. Honestly, I bet that you could pull out some of the batter while it is still quite thick and make hush puppies out of it. This was also good on mozzarella sticks. Thank you Lisa! BTW, this was used for a pan fry and not a deep fry.

    I joined the crowd and also used buttermilk. I used only half the recipe for a pound of fish, but found the batter to be perfectly seasoned.
