Mouthwatering Fish Batter Recipes

Fish batter recipes are easy to make requiring only little basic cooking equipment and ingredients. Batter fish recipes are also delicious dishes which suit every occasion.

A great variety of fish such as cod, halibut, flounder, walleye, sole, tilapia, salmon and catfish are good for this method of cooking fish.

Deep-fat frying or shallow frying is the main method used for this type of cooking which requires small or large pieces of fish dip in batter. And to prevent the delicate fish from breaking up when coming into contact with the extreme hot oil the fish must be protected with some sort of coating. Flour, breadcrumbs and eggs are the most used coatings.

The oil for fish batter recipes must be clean and enough to cover the food. Oil must also heat to a sufficient temperature level before food is added in. The ideal temperature is 180C/350F to prevent the food becoming soggy and oily. And when the oil is too hot the outside of the food will over-burn before the inside is cook. The food should be crispy and golden brown when ready.

Here are a couple of my favorite fish batter recipes:
