Another good tip is to dry the fish on kitchen paper or a tea towel don't dust with flour and you won't get that gloop between the batter and the fish.

Self raising flour, water or half water half beer (as cold as possible) add the flour to the liquid not the other way round. Leave to rest in the fridge for at least 30 minutes gently stir before use don't over mix it.
I have owned chippies for many years so do know.

You can whisk an egg white until frothy and then fold it into the batter.
I prefer to chill the batter in the fridge before using as it seems to seal quicker. And i'd use lemon juice instead of vinegar.

Plain flour, soda water, cheap flat beer, touch of baking powder and a dash of vinegar, generous amount of salt.
200 degrees, fry until the fish starts to crackle in the oil.
You know the batter is thick enough when it just about hangs on to the back of a label.

Lower it down slowly from one end into the oil to stop it sticking.

Used some turmeric like the BBC recipe said but followed RM10 on the resting bit.
All good.

Re: Battering fish

better unrested and do not overdo it with the mixing as its better to have a couple of lumps than overworked batter

Re: Battering fish

flour the fish
mix flour with water/beer (I prefer fizzy water) until it resembles the texture of emulsion paint
add some salt to taste
fry the fish at 190 degrees
have some kitchen paper at the ready to receive the fish from the fryer.
ideally you want a low gluten flour so not bread flour.

Use a club hammer, that usually works quite well
