The Texas BBQ Forum

Wanted some fried fish for dinner last night so here I went! Made some fresh tartar sauce along with it. I skipped the mushy peas though. Lol!

I just told my wife this morning I wanted some fish, but after considering the mess, the smell etc we decided to just order out tonight. There is a little local mom and pop close by that does it for about what we could price wise and no fuss. That looks great, even home made TS. Yumm

What kind of fish was it?

Fish n chips are regular thing here, my fave is blue cod, it's the best ever, I do mine in beer batter, deep fried and with twice fried chips, I do it all myself. Yours looks great too.

I did tilapia and catfish. This one was the tilapia.

Cod is my go to for fish n chips but they were out of fresh and only had frozen. I figured this post would most certainly nab your attention!

Thanks All! I'm still struggling with getting my batter right. Comes out lighter than I'd like. Think I finally nailed it though. Made some chicken strips using my new concoction and it was spot on.

Fwiw, my batter is a cup of flour, 1 free range egg and lager beer, mix to light batter, leave if you can for an hour and dredge in flour then batter.

is that 100% wheat flour? the reason I ask is that for fish and shrimp (not chicken) I mix both together and really like it - - - - another thing concerning batter is, except for Hot Water Cornbread, I have no use for Cornmeal and the only reason I buy it is to fry the wiffys fish and okra in - - - sorry bout the wordyness

Sorry I didn't see this sooner. This was a mix of flour and corn starch. 1/4c corn starch to 1c flour. No cornmeal was used in the making of this Dinner!

I know this has nothing to do with fish and chips but when yall order whole catfish do yall eat the tails. I swear that is the best part of the catfish. I have never tried any other fish tails but now I will have to.
