What is a good and easy fish batter that you guys use ???I realy like breading on pan fried , But for deep fried ya got ta have batter!! Any good good beer batter recipes ????

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,

This one utilizes beaten egg whites and the result is pretty amazing.

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.

I'll think of something better to put here.

Thanks for your professional courtesy.

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

Thanks Sassy.

Are these guys advertising or just answering the question? Or am I missing something 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.

Nothing for you to aplogize for Rob. The other post is obviously just a spammer. I wonder if you fry spammers in oil if you can get a good Spam Musubi?

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.

I have eaten a lot of Spam....even thought, on occasion, that I liked it.

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.

Get a can of Spam and fry it Rob. Then you will have unknowingly eaten every bit of offal that you never wanted to think about. It's really not bad fried and works well diced up in fried rice. Spam is huge in Hawaii. Go figure.

Other than beer and pork rinds, fishing food for my guys included, among other things, SCOOTER PIES....a local version of moon pie, I guess.
