Crisp Batter for Deep Frying Fish Etc.
"This recipe produces a nice crisp outside to deep fried fish. For best results cook fish in oil preheated to 375°F. Fry fish for 3-5 minutes depending on the size of the chunks. The same goes for how many pieces this recipe will coat I say enough fish for 4 but it depends on serving size"

I'm not going to rate this with stars yet, because I'm really new at battered fried fish... This really didnt work for me and Im really not sure what Im doing wrong.. I plan to make this again to figure out where I went wrong, but this time it didnt work out at all. The batter got like a hard chewy, not a nice crisp batter, and it didnt get a nice golden color, instead was a really bland whitish yellow color. If you have any suggestions for me, please let me know. Thanks. -
I can surely understand why you have 5 stars on this one it is excellent and simple. I used it once without the vinegar and still got excellent results on prawns and tilapia fish,I added a little grape oil and had great results thank you. S. -

Small town in the Okanagan, B.C.
On January 10 2010 I will celebrate 9 years of Life with Zaar. I can't imagine being without it! It has become part of my daily routine.
I feel very privileged to be one of the hosts on the Photo Forum. Taking photos of my culinary efforts is a full time hobby and I love it. My friends all know what to expect when they come to dinner "Are you finished taking pictures?" or "Did you get a photo of so & so?" I never let them wait too long and the food is NEVER cold! I now have over 6000 photos on Zaar - some fairly good and some definitely not so good. I am happy to say that practice does help.
My roots are in Vancouver BC Canada - a very beautiful city that holds many wonderful memories for me. In 1990, I decided that for my retirement years I may want to settle in a smaller community and found a slice of heaven in the North Okanagan B.C. I love living here but every once in a while I miss the bright city lights, the Broadway shows and some of the small wonderful ethnic restaurants that Vancouver abounds in. That is easily resolved. I just take a trip to the coast, visit with friends for a weekend see a show and feast on Dim Sum or other specialty foods.
I am getting a bit long in the tooth but was a very adventurous person. I have river rafted Hell's Gate on the Fraser river, been up in a glider over Hawaii (no not a Hang Glider!), gone hot air ballooning in the Napa Valley & the Fraser Valley, driven dune buggies on the dunes in Oregon, Para sailing in Mexico and tried many other adventurous, challenging, fun things. I have yet to try bungee jumping or sky diving. I may do them yet. I love to travel and experience other cultures. Mexco has been a favorite haunt. I have visited that lovely country many many times. Australia is another favorite as is England!
In the past 16 months I have taken off 61 pounds and feel wonderful. I am off all medications and all systems are GO! In years I may be 79 but in spirit I am still in my forties. We are only as old as we allow ourselves to feel. Always think positive. Do something a bit challenging every day & always do something silly every day. Be a kid again! Laugh every day - it is internal jogging.
Here are a few of my photos
