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

THE BEST ALL PURPOSE DEEP FRY BATTER
We dont deep-fry a lot but when we do..we do a WHACK of stuff. I've tried numerous recipes and this by far is the cheapest, tastiest and works with everything. Fish and onion rings are phenomenol. Spices are to your own taste and can be adjusted to whatever taste you want. Believe me...I've added everything from curry to southwestern tastes, this 'basic' recipe is just a guideline to the spices and taste you are looking for. ENJOY, it's awesome.

Steps:
- Mix all dry ingredients, except the extra flour, whisk together.
- Add beer and only mix lightly.
- DO NOT over mix. If there are flour lumps just squish with the back of a spoon.
- You want the mix to be blended but not overmixed as it will not 'puff up' when deep-frying.
- For fish,shrimp, and 'meaty or wet' items I usually towel dry them and dredge them in the additional flour.
- Then dip and cover in mixture. Let the excess drip off and when putting any item in the deep fryer -- use tongs.and dip whatever you are deep frying in the oil for about 10 seconds, then release.
- This prevents the food from sticking to the bottom of the fryer. (Took us a while to learn that technique).
- When it comes to fish or something long or big -- I just put the first inch or 2 in and let it bubble for a few seconds so that I know it won't sink to the bottom and stick. (I truly hated that with deep frying).

Tips:
- Use fresh fish. The fresher the fish, the better your fish and chips will be.
- Use a light, fluffy batter. A heavy batter will make your fish and chips greasy and soggy.
- Season your batter well. Salt and pepper are essential, but you can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
- Don't overcrowd the fryer. If you overcrowd the fryer, the fish and chips will not cook evenly.
- Cook the fish and chips until they are golden brown. This will ensure that they are cooked through and crispy.
- Serve the fish and chips immediately with your favorite dipping sauce. Malt vinegar is a classic choice, but you can also use tartar sauce, ketchup, or remoulade.
