It's a pun/play on words.
Fish in a chip shop is coated in a flour/water mixture called 'batter', which when deep-fried turns crispy and golden.
Beating somebody up also called 'giving them a battering', probably from battering rams used as a siege weapon.
Newspapers love a good pun, so instead of saying the chip shop owner beat somebody up, they have said he 'batters' them, being a play on words because the chip shop owner normally just batters fish.
