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

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.

www.weisenberger.comI spice it up a tad with a dash of tobasco sauce or whatever, sometimes just as is.
There comes a point liberalism has gone too far, we're past that point.

thanks for all the ideas
we caught 17 more tonight 10 are head and gut , 7 normal fillet skin on scales off
going to try a few different types of fry without fillet.
the wife actually caught most of them , she was on fire catching tonight.
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.
