I like golden dipt brand fish fry mix. It is a real light flour like mix. For a little extra crunch I mix two parts of the mix with one part of corn flake crumbs. Still a light coating but a lot more crunch. I dust in plain flour into milk and egg then into the fish fry mix.

I buy a tempura flour like this one ![[Linked Image]](http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff37/puckett93/tempura-flour.jpg) down the Asian market. I put some dry in a bowl, and I mix some with club soda in a thin batter - wet bowl. I put a little Italian seasoning or Old Bay in the batter and roll, dip, and fry. I fried 2 two pound bags of shrimp for the guys during each of the Bruins playoff games. Everyone liked them. I've bought bags of flour mix for quite a few people. I think it's got rice flour or rice starch mixed with the regular flour. I look through the brands for one without MSG, and I've tried a few. All have been good.

I buy a tempura flour like this one ding ding..winner winner shrimp dinner!! That's what I use it makes a very light batter that doesn't hide the shrimp flavor. Now if you are buying those farm raised imported shrimp, a heavy batter with lot's of spices might be warranted!! 
I once visited a place where BBQ was a verb, Canadian whiskey was the norm and no sweet tea on the menu. Hell on earth for a Southern boy!!

Batter? I would NEVER use batter. Lightly breaded, yes, batter, no way.

I think tempura, done properly, is a light batter.
