After too many fish-fry-batter failures to count, I discovered this recipe on Good Eats some time ago. Wonderful. This is now my go-to fish-fry recipe. Have made it many times without a single failure. Texture has a wonderful initial crunch and taste is excellent. I dry the fish with paper towels and air-dry several minutes before dredging and frying. Also, I use a stove-top wok or Windsor pan because of their flared sides to reduce the chance of oil boil-over from excess moisture (from experience: boil-over makes for a serious danger and a huge mess. Serve with a simple homemade tartar sauce (with capers, malt vinegar, Alton's fries or jojos, and cole slaw...Yum! Thank you Alton.

I tried this wonderful meal, and added some other vegitable frys (sweet potato and apple. This was the best. I lived in London, and the fish and chips made by Alton are as good as any I have ever had. A Big Cheer for Alton Brown, who as always comes through with stuff we can do a t home to make good eats.

We only made the fish part of this recipe and it was incredible! Forgot to get corn starch but used some flour instead and it worked just fine. Used Guinness for the beer and it gave the batter a great taste. It also looked so good as soon as it came out of the fryer. It was a bit messy to make but it was fun. We just got a deep fryer and this was the first thing we made. I'm sure we'll be making this again because it was fantastic.

The batter was wonderful. My husband loved it. I definitely needed to fry the fish for about 5-7 minutes rather than 2-3 minutes to make sure the fish came out flaky. The chips were nice and crispy! YUM

I found the batter a bit too soggy after I'd fried the fish. It tasted good and puffed up attractively, but I'd say it was more bread-y than crispy.

I was wondering if anyone substituted the beer with something else. I havent' tried this recipe but saw the episode last night and really want to try it but want to know if anyone had success without the beer. Thanks.
