    I've been dying to find a recipe for a crispy batter and this one is AMAZING! I seasoned my fish w/ a little old bay and it was perfect. LOVE

    Love frying fish with this batter. The batter also works well when making onion rings!!

    My husband and I used our fryer for the fish, and we used cod instead of tilapia. We thought the batter seemed REALLY thick as we were mixing it. After cooking, the layer of batter on the fish was like pancakes and was lacking flavor. It was just ok. The timing and temp were perfect, but again the batter was just too thick and the flavor was not there.
    The potatoes seemed to be bland and sort of a soggy mess. Even after refrying the potatoes they didn't work out. We won't be following this recipe again.

    LOVE IT!!!!!!! So easy and tasty! I have also substituted chicken tenders for the fish and it was equally yummy!

    I think the idea of this is great but, I think the batter is waaay to thick and frankly, very bland. I made a few pieces and once I saw how much coating there was, I thinned out the batter with some more soda water and the consistency was perfect. As for the blandness, I think next time I will add some seafood seasoning (Old Bay or the like for the fish and some Cajun seasoning if I use the batter for chicken. It's imperative that your oil is the appropriate temperature otherwise this batter will ***** up the oil and make the food very greasy.

    My family LOVES this recipe. My husband lumps fishing boats and brings home yellowtail and flounder once in awhile so we've tried tons of fried fish recipes. He doesn't care for fish normally, but when I found this recipe, he loved it! I am happy to have found a frying batter that we love so much. We use a george foreman fryer as well so it helps get rid of the grease and make the recipe a little healthier. Fish fried in this batter is also good finger food as it doesn't crumble apart like some of the other ones we've tried. Thank you Sandra!!!

    This recipe has become one of my favorites when I do occasionally have fried food!
    My family could not believe I didn't buy it as a "take out". Mmmmm it is simply delicious and easy!

    This recipe was EASY to make and EASY to prepare. We caught the episode on TV today, and thought it would be fun to make. And it was...thank you! Tasted just like you would get in a restaurant...Kids ate it too! They loved the idea of the newspaper to make the right effect. (And, let me just say, I have THE pickiest kids in the UNIVERSE!
