I paired with fried potatoes and Recipe #504832 for a pub style fish and chips meal. The fish batter was lighter in texture than other recipes I've tried and one could taste the fish. Thank you for sharing the recipe! -
You MUST dredge fish in flour prior to frying otherwise the batter won't adhere. Also, NEVER leave any deep fried food sit on paper towels. Makes food soggy. This is food science 101. -
Recipe needs a dredging process or else the batter slips right off in the oil. My fish looked nothing like the photo. Too much garlic powder as well. Keep working at it and it will turn out well.
