Batter?

[cj]

What's your favorite batter for deepfrying fish? I use Drakes. And I don't make a wet batter...soaks up too much oil for my liking. I do add a bit of Old Bay seasoning and garlic powder to the dry batter though. I roll the fish in beaten eggs, place a few in a sealed ziplock, shake to coat and deep fry. Also use this for froglegs. What's your preference?

What the hell is old bay seasoning? It sounds like a deodorant. I don't thik I've ever seen it before in a store.

Golden Dipt - Fish n' Chips batter is what I use it is a wet batter though. But if your oil is right it won't soak as much a grease. I've tried lots of hommade batters but this stuff is better.

ADC,
I use peanut oil, at 345 degrees. Is that what you use on the wet batter?

JC,
It's a very good seasoning. Most stores carry it. It's in one of those recantguler shaped containers. Good stuff.

That's about it CJ. I use cast iron skillets (big ones) to cook in and no basket the batter will stick in those POS.

Old Bay has a flavor I'm not real keen on. ADD MORE GARLIC. that is my only advice. I wasn't yelling by the way.
