Home Fried Fish (a delicious batter not only for fish, but try it for chicken and shrimp too!)




If you were to ask me what my favorite 'food' is, it might be onions.  However, if you were to ask me what my favorite type of food is, it would be seafood.  It doesn't matter if it's crab, lobster, shrimp, fish, oysters, mussels or anything in between.  Seafood in some form, three times a week would be about perfect for me.  And this fried fish batter?  One of my favorites.  This is a recipe I originally posted back in 2008 but a lot of you might not have been a reader back then.  It is not only so very good, but you can use cod fillets, which are very affordable!
