Followed recipe exactly, but batter just "stuck" to the fish. Will try again though maybe have better luck 2nd time around.

We have tried this recipe twice and twice it was not good - I guess this one just is not for us.

The taste of this is wonderful. It WAS a little salty. I will cut way back next time. Yes, there will definitely be a next time. This is the best batter that I have ever made.

Best batter I've used. I prefer a corn meal batter so I substitued that. I also used egg white and cayenne pepper. Super crispy, yummy batter

I really didn't care for the flavor of this batter. It also wasn't terribly crispy. I did avoid the greasiness some other reviewers have mentioned by using just egg white rather than a whole egg. UPDATE: Due to a blog regarding how each of us decides to rate a recipe, I realized I really needed to come back and re-rate this recipe from a three to a one star. Why? Because I took three bites and gave the rest to my dog. No matter how long I left it in the oil, there was wet, floury batter under the outer fried coating.

I chose this recipe because my boxed beer batter mix was too low for dinner. I was happy that it stuck to the fish nicely and browned up well. But when the fish was served, the batter would come off easily, and it definitely had more of a flour-y taste... not so tasty with fish. Next time, I will use a recipe that requires cornmeal instead. But thanks anyway!

First, way better than the fish & chips I had at the English Pub at DisneyWorld, second, if you are having trouble with cooking time, remember, the recipe calls for cod, a thin fish, if your fillets are thicker, as in haddock, halibut, then it will need a few more minutes. as for talapia, that fish is a marketing scam and doesn't belong in anyone's kitchen. If you are still having trouble with cook times, watch the fish in the fryer, it will tell you when it is done...overcook a small piece, then undercook a small piece...see the difference in the bubbles..when it looks like it is done, it probably is...this recipe was not at all salty for me, altho I did substutute old bay for paprika..The breading did get soggy after about ten minutes. As for those who had a problem with the taste, this is most funny to me...beer is a major ingredient, the recipe does not specify a particular brand, so how can you blame the recipe..?? If you don't like the taste, try a different beer..!! I used a Sam Light and liked it a lot, have also used Bud, and enjoy that. As a beer drinker, I prefer Coors Light..All beers are different..I thought it an excellent recipe for fish and chips...good job...!!

This would have been pretty good but I used a bottle of Guiness from a friend's advice. too dark and beer tasting for my family's liking. Oh well I will rate again after trying with a different beer.

Thumbs up from all 4 males in the house! The only thing I changed was the salt amount, (1 tsp) and a few shakes of Old Bay seasoning, and no paprika, (not a favorite in this house) Definitly drain on paper bags, bass and catfish tasted great tonight!

Although the fish fried great and looked really good, I found it to have an odd taste. Almost too salty. I don't know if it had to do with adding lemon pepper instead of regular pepper to batter or using Bud Light.

This recipe is great for all types of fish! I fried halibut & had great success. I added 1 tsp of cayenne to the batter for a bit of a kick. It isn't too hot with all the beer, flour, and tartar sauce - but it adds a good flavor.

This stuff is horrible. I didn't have any problems with it sticking to the fish. I used cod and made sure it was patted dry with a paper towel. It cooked up okay and actually looked pretty good. But, the taste was horrible. Too much salt and I love salt. The mix of paprika and garlic poweder along with the over salty flavor overpowered the fish. I will not be making this again. Yuck!
