Fast easy and available in just about every store in MI is drake's batter mix. Just add beer.

I prefer make-your-own beer batter: Mix COLD beer together with any brand complete pancake mix to form a stiff batter that will cling to your fish. Keep the fish and the batter very cold til you are ready to fry. Then, dip and fry....and ENJOY. (Note: Fish should be DRY when dipped: Cold, dry fillets...dipped into beer batter...fried @ 360 +/-....GOOD EATS)
Note: This same approach works well with wild turkey chunks and rabbit...especially with snowshoe hare.
Good Luck,
GPA

Rocky Madsens Canadian Pub Style beer batter is the best store bought batter I have tried thus far. Mix it with a good ale, like Midnight Sun's Kodiak Nut Brown and you will be in heaven. I searched all kinds of recipe sights and stores and tried lots of different brands but this is THE best I have eaten.

Isn't this blatant advertising? I thought that was illegal on here.

One is, one isn't.
rob_p has 1500-plus posts, is a well-known member who posts on a variety of topics, and is obviously passing on information and resources that he recommends.
ccorces1 has 11 posts, and 4 of them have been "promo'ed" by me because of their, shall we say, opportunistic content.
One is, one isn't.

Sorry folks. I don't own shares in either company, but I was trying to show a little local pride in that RI has the best fried clams, calamari, smelts, scallops, (LA, you can have the best shrimp), and Krispee is really the best I can find here. I don't know if it's on the shelves where you are, and wanted to be useful. If I was mistaken, I shall remove it. I am very sorry.

Rob that comment I made was meant for the guy advertising Las Vegas not you. His was a blatant advertisement that Rick removed. You were giving your opinion of a product. Big difference unless you own the company. Sorry if I offended anyone except that ccorces1.

I didn't think beer batter was tough enough to NEED a recipe, but what the heck...
I simply add cold beer to Bisquick, add a splash each of lemon juice and Tabasco plus a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Mix just a bit thinner than for pancake batter.
Dip in cold pat-dried fish (or onion rings, chicken, quail, squirrel, rabbit, green tomato slices - you name it) and fry. Hard to beat.

During the course of my life, I can honestly say I've never tasted Spam. I have had Vienna Sausage both heated and fresh from the can, which has to be worse. The beer batter thing, I have had a few problems with. Now I saw Paula Dean just stir warm Mexican beer into flour and batter fish with it. I've tried it and got a thin batter that floats off. More flour doesn't seem to make things any better. Now I've whisked freezing cold soda water into tempura flour and gotten a nice batter, but I have tried beer a few times with mixed results. Now a bag of the fish batter I mentioned earlier and a little water, I like that. I used to fry calamari and smelt with pepper rings or a little olive oil, basil, garlic and red pepper flakes. The batter is really good for that.

What about beenie weenies? I learned to read to the pages of Cliff Worth and Don Shelby and the Adventures of Harry and Charlie. I even have the bound editions from BASS Magazine. I grew up believing that Beenie Weenies, Nabs, Moon Pies, Slim Jims: food of Bassin professionals everywhere.
