3 lb. fish fillets
1 pt. dairy buttermilk
Lemon slice (if fish is not skinned)
2 pts. oil
2 c. flour
2 c. pancake mix
2 1/2 c. club soda

Soak fish in enough buttermilk to cover, refrigerate with 1 slice of lemon (to remove fish and taste or skin fish completely) for 2 hours. Heat 1 1/2 pints oil in a heavy saucepan (at least 2 1/2 quart size). Drain milk from fish. Cut fish in halves forming triangles.

Dredge fish in flour and let dry for 5 minutes. Mix pancake mix with enough club soda to the consistency of buttermilk. Dip floured fillets in batter, letting excess drip off. Fry in hot deep fat 4 minutes each side. Drain on paper towels. Arrange in single layer on cookie sheet and keep warm in 250 degree oven until all fish are fried.
