Batter-Fried Fish image

Whether I'm fixing cod fillets or my husband's catch of the day, this fish fry batter makes the fish golden and crispy. Club soda gives it a different twist, and the sweet and zippy sauce complements the fish nicely. -Nancy Johnson, Connersville, Indiana

CRUNCHY BATTER FRIED FISH (NO BEER)

Crunchy Batter Fried Fish (No Beer) image

I had great reviews with my other fish recipe recipe #104409. But I'm always striving to improve. I did some experimenting, and this fish batter is great! Serve it with recipe #104661, fries and coleslaw. Or make it into a fish sandwich with tartar sauce and lettuce on a bun. Either way, it's delish!

Ingredients

2 lbs cod (fresh or frozen and thawed)
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, divided
1/2 cup cornstarch, divided
1 teaspoon baking powder
16 ounces club soda
1 teaspoon salt (plus seasoning of your choice..Old Bay, Lemon Pepper etc)
oil (for frying)

Steps:

Mix together 1 cup flour, 1/4 cup cornstarch, baking powder and salt in a bowl.
Stir in enough club soda to make a batter about the consistency of thin pancake batter. You don't want it too thick, just thick enough to nicely coat a spoon.
Season the batter to taste if desired with seasoning of your choice. I suggest Old Bay, Lemon Pepper seasoning, or seasoned salt. set aside.
In another bowl, mix together remaining 1/4 cup flour and 1/4 cup cornstarch.
Heat oil in a deep pan to 375°F Use a candy thermometer if you need to. Oil in pan should be about 3" to 4" deep.
Cut fish into portion sizes and remove any pin bones, and pat dry.
Dredge the fish in the dry flour/cornstarch mixture. Shake off any excess.This allows the batter to stick to the fish.
Dip dredged fish into batter allowing any excess to drip off before carefully adding the fish to the hot oil.
Cook the fish one or two pieces at a time until golden brown.
Drain on paper towels or better yet, on a cake cooling rack set up over paper towels.
Serve while hot.

COCA-COLA BATTERED FRIED FISH

Coca-Cola Battered Fried Fish image

This fish recipe was born out of necessity! I planned on making beer battered fish for dinner one night, had everything prepared but realized I had no beer! So, instead of stopping what I was doing, I decided to try coca-cola instead and it worked beautifully. I've made fried fish that way every time now, the family loves it!!
