What is the best fish fry batter?

Answer 1

ANSWER:So many answers for this one, but... fish is a different kind of meat, in that it takes less time to cook it. If you buy cooked fish at a restaurant, it has a batter on it and is coated from one end to the other. The fish inside is tough and basically, overcooked. Some are cooked in a beer batter or egg batter, but by the time the batter on the outside cooks to perfection, the fish is overcooked and bad to the taste. I use a bread type batter, southern style. Its the best I have found so far. Take 4 parts corn meal and one part flour, mix it up real good and add 1 teaspoon of basil for flavoring. Put this on the wet fish and it will stick real good and make a good flavored batter that will make it your favourite as well.
