Guess I'm just lazy, no batter or deep fry, just coat in flour, sometimes mixed with corn starch, salt and spices and pan fry.
You want less carbs you can use coconut flour....

For the crunchiest batter hands down....

1 cup Drakes
1 cup rice flour
1Tbs baking powder
Additional seasoning of your choice; cajun, salt, pepper, lemon pepper etc ...whatever floats your boat
Ice cold beer...and I mean ICE COLD. The baking powder reacts with the carbonation in the beer and creates a very light and very crispy breading. I mix it a little thinner than pancake batter so its not too thick.

I dust filets with drakes very lightly, then into the beer batter, then hit the oil at 375.

The key is the rice flour and baking powder. I get a lot of requests for this recipe.

Almost forgot, the other key is quality fish such as walleye, perch or bluegill. Catfish will ruin the best of any recipes grin

I use "Mccormicks Fish Fry " and mix in a little "Andy's Yellow " for extra crispyness.

Beer batter;
1 egg
1 12oz beer
1 cup flour
1 TBS baking powder
2 TBS corn starch

Roll fish in flour before dipping in the batter, that makes the batter stick to the fish.

McCormicks Fish and Chips is identical to Long John Silvers, very, very good batter. Great on onion rings too.

Breading I use Andy’s Red.

I like this one, I just use flour and beer , and it turns out good, but I like the adds , as it gives it more fluff to the batter.

I spice it up a tad with a dash of tobasco sauce or whatever, sometimes just as is.

For a little added kick dip the fillets in Franks Red Hot then coat with your favorite breading.
