What's a good fish for deep frying?
We just got a Waring Pro deep fryer.
I wanted to try some beer-battered fish. I can't find haddock at the local stores. What are some other types that are good for this? Thanks! |

However, salmon and halibut for this use is NOT to my taste. I actually like both of these fishes, but not for fish n chips! My second choice for fish n chips is shark. Grouper is also good for it, but one can make better use of it. Cod is, IMHO, perfection. Charlie, with love to you and the SBF |

LOL shrimp This delicious crustacean is America's favorite _shellFISH_. Most of the shrimp in the United States comes from bordering waters, notably the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and the Gulf Coast. There are hundreds of shrimp species, most of which can be divided into two broad classifications €” warm-water shrimp and cold-water shrimp. As a broad and general rule, the colder the water, the smaller and more succulent the shrimp. shellFISH A broad term for all aquatic animals that have a shell of some kind. Shellfish are separated into two basic categories €” CRUSTACEANS and MOLLUSKS. Crustaceans include CRABS, CRAYFISH, LOBSTER and SHRIMP.

Pouring down rain in the Memphis area this morning. Gonna make some butternut squash soup. Also will put the corned beef in a pot and later add some new 'taters. I'll run out later and buy some cabbage which I will steam over the the nice salty cooking liquid. For the next few days I'll have leftovers again! Who knows; the cat might even get a bite or two.

>Shrimp ain't fish, Sheldon. But absolutely delicious deep fried Yeah. The deep fryer was delivered the other day. I immediately washed it, quick thawed some shrimp, whipped up some beer batter and fried 'em up. So good. My wife was on a business trip so I called her and crunched in the phone. |

Halibut is pretty good deep fried. Once while in a restaurant in Paris one of our party had a wonderful looking deep fried fish. It was a whiting that had been gutted and butterflied, dredged in seasoned flour and deep fried whole. It looked good and was delicious. |

Thanks for so many replies. I had assumed tilapia was too delicate.
I'll give it a try. I did pick up some frozen red snapper filets. I'll give those a shot, too. |

Um, folks is straying... the question is about fish for deep frying, not pan frying, even flounder doesn't lend itself well to deep frying, may as well deep fry trout. For deep frying battered fin fish you want fish that is dry (not oily) and not delicate or bony, one that's easy to filet. Cod is probably the most common choice but halibut is good too. ---= BOYCOTT FRANCE (belgium) GERMANY--SPAIN =--- ---= Move UNITED NATIONS To Paris =--- ********* "Life would be devoid of all meaning were it without tribulation."

These are small fish, widely available cleaned and frozen at low prices from Canada. They are sold loose in bags. They are some of the cheapest fish you can buy. Unfortunately, they are not deboned. They are so small (about the size of sardines) that you can eat them with the bones, but I prefer to debone them. There's a trick to it -- separate the spine from the flesh at the tail end, and you can then pull the whole spine out like unzipping a zipper. This won't work if you start from the head end. The other bones are in the dorsal and pectoral fins, which are easily pulled off. |

I to just got a new fryer can anyone tell me of a good beer batter mix
|
|
|

|

>I to just got a new fryer can anyone tell me of a good beer batter mix I just use a cup of lour, and 3/4 cup of beer to start. Then whisk it and add beer until it's the right texture. I toss some dried or chopped parsley in there, too, but I'm not sure if it adds much. I like the look of the speckles. :-) I've seen that many recipes also add MSG (Accent), too. |
