A long time favorite I have used for over 25 years, plan ahead the batter needs to sit for one hour before using --- the amounts listed will be enough for 2 pounds of fish, you may double but make certain to prepare two separate recipes in two bowls, do not double into one bowl as the batter will not be as good --- you may wish to add in 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder and paprika to the flour mixture for extra flavor and for a little heat add in a pinch of cayenne pepper

2 pounds fish (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1/2 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt (I use seasoned salt for this)
1 tablespoon melted butter
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup beer (preferably dark beer)
1 egg white (stiffly beaten)
2 lbs fish

Directions

1
Sift flour and salt, add butter and egg; add beer gradually, add beaten egg white, stirring only until smooth.
2
Let stand for 1 hour in a warm place.
3
In a deep fryer or heavy pot heat oil to 375 degrees.
4
Dip fish in batter then fry in hot oil until golden brown (fry the fish in batches).
5
Allow to drain on a heavy brown paper bag or on double paper towels.
6
** It is best to use thinner pieces of fish if you intend to fry the whole piece or just cut into large chunks.

WOW! I've never used a wet batter before and it was awesome. I used talapia and it came out perfect. I did add some Zatarains to spice it up a bit. Thank you my hubby loved it!

I give it a 4 only for the lack of seasoning.We did follow other's input on adding garlic salt and also an overall "season salt".However,the batter is 5 stars in how it crisps up and coats the fish.We used a "true" cod and it worked great! I also made White Fish In Herbed Butter(White Fish In Herbed Butter) and my husband who usually prefers fried,asked me to make this recipe next time! Both are good enough we will for sure make again!

This batter is the best we have ever eaten! I used it for grouper, which is prevalent in the Bahamas and it was light and delicious. I will use this for red snapper as well, or anything, really. I let it set for an hour, as recommended. It was runny, but when it hit the hot oil, boy did they puff up nice. DH said it was better than any he has had.Thanx,Kitten
