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.

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!

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.♥:
