Have you checked batter for fried fish? or savoury batter questions etc?
i wouldn't make battered fish at home, so can't offer any advice myself. Will be interested to see what others say though
I'll merge this later once you have more input

Thanks Zip. I have read through all the threads I can find, and can't see an answer to my question, so i hope someone helps soon.Father Ted: Now concentrate this time, Dougal. These

It sounds like there is too much fat getting into the food.
Are you sure that the fat is hot enough when you put the fish in? It needs to be hot enough for the batter to seal round the fish straight away.
Another thought - have you tried having a hot oven on standby and popping the fish in there for a few mins to make sure it is fully dried out and crisp?
You've made me hungry now... I think it will be fish n chips for tea (from the chippy!)I'm a retired employment solicitor. Hopefully some of my comments might be useful, but they are only my opinion and not intended as legal advice.0 -
I think the fat was hot enough. It sizzled as I put it in. Maybe I will make it hotter and see if that helps. I tried putting them in the oven before when the family weren't ready to eat, and they still went soggy.
I wish I was in Zippy's neck of the woods and I'd be away myself to Cafe Fish, or the Moyola for a fish supper too!!!!!!Father Ted: Now concentrate this time, Dougal. These

I was just looking at the link for Delia's batter, and it looks like maybe you're right, that the oil just wasn't hot enough. Well here goes nothing!Father Ted: Now concentrate this time, Dougal. These

Oh, and another thing I am trying is ice cold water. I don't have any soda water and don't drink beer, so that's the best I can do.Father Ted: Now concentrate this time, Dougal. These

I also think that fat wasn't at optimum temperature (180c).
Adding corn flour helps too

It depends on how you obtain it and how you use it.
Have you sold your soul to the devil?0 -
could it be that your fish is too wet??? and there is literally steam coming out of it soacking into the batter from the inside??? (just a thought?)
was the fish frozen before you brought it? maybe try drying it off well before battering it???
Having never cooked this at home this is just an idea and not advice from exp in any way 0
