We have fresh snapper from a fishing trip for tomorrow night and my partner wants good old fashioned Fish n Chips.
I was thinking of doing a Beer Batter, homemade chips and a lemon,caper and mayo sauce but wondered what others would do for Battered Fish?
Beer Batter
1 ½ cups self-raising flour
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 bottle beer

I have this recipe of John Torode's that was online some time ago. It's for tempura vegetables but I daresay the tempura part of the recipe would be good for anything else you wanted to deep fry. It's rather hot,though! You could reduce or leave out the wasabi, I should think.

Hi everyone I have just joined. I love the questions and posts on here.
I sometimes add some parsley and lemon pepper to boost flavour of a store bought fish...for fresh snapper I just add the lemon pepper. Always get rave reviews, works well in a breadcrumb too. You can add quite a bit as quite mild...don't add in any additional salt until you taste it cooked as the lemon pepper has some in it.
I have used tumeric as well before....it adds a nice golden colour. Goes nicely in a beer batter!
Enjoy the fresh snapper!

Simple batter
1 cup flour
1 cup water
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp white vinegar
Mix flour and water then add baking soda, pour vinegar over baking soda to foam and then mix in
My husband is a keen sea fisherman and I use this recipe all the time.
Sometime add 1/2 tsp oil at the end as someone once told me that it makes a batter crisper but I'm not sure about this.

I can vouch for your recipe Margaret. That's the one I use, passed on from my Mother. Still the same ingredients, method a little different. The baking soda and flour are mixed with water, and then the teaspoon of vinegar added. Not sure whether the method would make any difference, but I must try your suggestion of adding oil.

Yes, I dust fish fillets with self-raising flour first, but you can use plain flour and sometimes I dip the fish in milk then flour, then batter. It is better mixed and then left to sit, but don't stir it after you have let it sit. If time is running short I have also mixed the batter and used it straight away and find it is still very good. We had freshly caught fish done in this batter a couple of nights ago and I jolly well forgot to add the teaspoon of oil as suggested by Margaret.
