Yum, yum, yum. This was really a good batter! I never seem to get the batter right, but this recipe worked very well. We used catfish, which is in abundance down here. The fish was a little on the heavy side, but still quite good. Thanks for another good one!

The only one I will use now. My husband was the one who made it. There wasn't a piece of fish left at all. Delicious.
