I deep fry rarely, but this is what I do with cod, because my wife
likes fish and chips, and the recipe I use isn't bad. I use self rising
flour, buttermilk, salt and pepper. Season the self rising flour to
taste. Then thoroughly coat the fish with it, coat the fish in
buttermilk and back into the seasoned self rising flour. For extra
coating, let the fish sit and get damp from the buttermilk soaking
through then coat it again in the flour.
I have no idea if regular flour would work as well, but I use self
rising. It seems to work well with buttermilk and gives a excellent
crust.

I do use plain flour but I add baking powder.
