I only made the spicy mayo and the sweet potato fries but now I can't stop making them! Everyone I make them for loves them and I've become known for this recipe. It's great to bring along to a BBQ all summer!

Side note- For those who prefer medium or milder spices I would suggest half the amount of cayenne initially and then gradually adding more cayenne to get the level of heat you prefer.

I used this batter to make fish tacos. I didn't want to use a beer batter because my 10mo old would be eating it and this was a GREAT alternative. The batter is very light and slightly crispy. Other reviews complained about the batter not being thick enough but they may want to try a different recipe if they are looking for heavily battered fish. I've used other beer battered fish recipes from Food Network, and I have to say I think this one is WAY better. Because I was making fish tacos, I made a Mexican marinade and I must say, YUM! I think had I not marinated the fish it probably would have been very bland. Thanks Aida! I can't wait to try this batter with other combos!

I just finished making this for lunch today and the kids loved it! I substituted a few things because I didn't have it in stock. For example:

For the fries: I used White Balsamic Vinegar instead of White Wine Vinegar.

For the Mayonnaise: I used Ground Double Superfine Mustard instead of Mustard Powder. (It looked like mustard powder.

For the fish: I used Halibut instead of Sole or Haddock. Halibut was EXPENSIVE! I bought two pounds. I also used Light Miller Beer instead of Club Soda.

I kept my cooking thermometer in the oil the whole time. It's important to raise the temperature to what Aida suggested (350 degrees so that the fish gets that great crunch when finished. I was very pleased with the outcome. This will be another great Fish & Chips recipe to add to my seafood collection. Thank you Aida. :-

Batter would not stick even though I dried the fish. Don't waste your time (or fish

We were very excited to try this recipe after watching Aida today. The real problem was the batter. It did not stick to the fish. The first few pieces came out without any batter. Those pieces that did keep some batter were flavorless. The mayonnaise is excellent and I can see many uses for it. The fish bites were a complete loss and a wasted Saturday night dinner.
