  3. This recipe sounded great so I put it together last night. BUT what happened? When I put the battered fish (cod) into the hot oil, it all slipped off! What did I do wrong??

  4. So I realize I do nit have enough oil .... Could I bake it in the oven?

  1. Super simple and super good, instead of flour I used tempura flour and tilipa for the fish, so good my family is already asking for a repeat

  2. Awesome you just have to tweak the recipe sometimes if you feel it has too much of this or not enough of that. I made onion rings as well.

  3. Our favorite "Fish & Chips" Recipe.Since I'm usually cooking for just the two of us we find the amount of batter to be excessive. But that can't be helped. How do you use half an egg? So now we plan on dividing the batter into quarters and using only what we need then freezing the rest for the next time.

  4. Absolutely delicious. I can't BELIEVE the number of adults in this review section that are blaming the recipe for their inability to read and follow simple instructions... 1. If you want the batter to stick to your fish, make sure you dry your fish VERY well so that the batter has something to hold on to. 2. If you don't want your batter to be too thin, mix in your beer A LITTLE AT A TIME. You probably won't need the whole beer to get your batter to the pancake batter consistency that you're aiming for. 3. And finally, if you want crispy and not soggy fish, make sure your oil is HOT enough before you put your fish in. Also, try this Tartar Sauce Recipe: https://natashaskitchen.com/tartar-sauce-recipe/#jump-to-recipe I've never liked Tartar sauce, but this sauce paired with these fish!? I would totally pay for the pair at a restaurant. SO GOOD!

  5. I made this tonight for dinner and everyone loved it! I used some frozen talapia, cut the paprika and garlic powder in half and added some Old Bay Seasoning. I also lightly coated the fish with some flour so the batter would stick better. Definitely something to fix again!

  3. Substituted flour for gluten free breadfruit flour (see photo). Seasoned fish with a little extra garlic salt Also used coconut oil for frying.

  5. Most is above but the winning batter would be to to thicken it a bit more, make sure the oil is the right temperature and DEFINITELY add more seasoning to the fish. I'll update the next time we try it to see if we had a better result.

&#9829;I live in Tennessee where I am a full-time nursing student. This past May 2006 I finally graduated after 4 long years of college with my Associate Degree in Nursing. It is great to know that I can be a part of something so important. For fun, I like to jog, swim, hike,(basically anything outdoors), cook and read. There is just something about cooking that is relaxing, dontcha' think? My favorite cookbook is the Betty Crocker cookbook. My passions are my boyfriend of 6 years, Benjamin, my 2 baby kittens: Midoria (Middy for short) - she is 6 years old; and Ki-Ki - he is 4 years old...but they are both still kittens to me. They are the foundation and true essence of my life. I thank God everyday that I have been so blessed to have them in my life. My pet peeves are mean people.Here is a pic of my little KiKi B.B.&#9829;:<a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h70/kikimiddy/kiki16.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"></a>KiKi on his cat tree :] &#9829;&#9829;&#9829; :]<a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h70/kikimiddy/keeks4.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"></a>Here is a pic of Middy&#9829;:<a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h70/kikimiddy/brat4.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"></a>This is me and my baby!!&#9829;<a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h70/kikimiddy/brightcont.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h70/kikimiddy/christmas2006antiqued.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a>This is when the kitties opened their new cat condo present on Christmas day!!<a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h70/kikimiddy/newcondo2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"></a>Here is my little kiki kitten again!!&#9829;<a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h70/kikimiddy/perfectface.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"></a>Here is KiKi trying to get Middy on the new condo!! :] &#9829;<a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h70/kikimiddy/kikismack.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"></a>&#9829;I love my little babies!!&#9829;Here is a recent pic of the lil' babbies having a kitten disagreement&#9829; :]<a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h70/kikimiddy/kikmid1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"></a>&#9829;such cuties!!&#9829;.&#9829;.&#9829;.&#9829;.<b>Favorite Cookbooks:<li><a href="http://www.recipezaar.com/mycookbook/book/37901">Make Your Own "Meat"</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.recipezaar.com/mycookbook/book/48016">Get Fit!</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.recipezaar.com/mycookbook/book/54255">My Little Tofu Cookbook</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.recipezaar.com/mycookbook/book/41407">Yummy Vegetarian Dishes</a></li><li><a href="http://www.recipezaar.com/mycookbook/book/32254">Simple</a></li>.&#9829;.&#9829;.&#9829;.<a href="http://www.amazingcounter.com"><img border="0" src="http://c9.amazingcounters.com/counter.php?i=1880156&c=5640781" alt="Web Counter Code"></a><a href="http://www.1-coupons.com/coupons/overstock.htm"></a>
