Tips:

Use a light hand when coating the fish. Too much coating will make the fish greasy and heavy.
If you're using a wet batter, make sure the fish is dry before you coat it. This will help the batter adhere to the fish.
If you're using a dry coating, press the coating into the fish so that it sticks. This will help the coating stay on the fish during cooking.
Cook the fish until it is golden brown and cooked through. The exact cooking time will vary depending on the type of fish and the thickness of the coating.
Serve the fish immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
