Leave salt out of the recipe. Then salt and pepper your fish to taste (or any seasoning), before dipping into batter. You could also use 1/2 cup corn meal to recipe, buttermilk or milk substitute for water. Have fun and eat

I absolutely LOVED this recipe, I cut back on the salt also. I dipped my fish into flour and shaken off the excess before I dipped it into the batter to ensure the a stable crust. I had this recipe a year ago, lost it and completely freaked out, because it is the best. I just found it and I'm relieved thanks so much! :-)

This is the best place I have ever come to to get a recipe, I cant put in words how much I rely like this site. Thank you very much for being here...

I totally agree with you, and it's so nice to be able to come to a site and not have to worry about it, thank you so very much for this site!!!

I usually make a beer batter, but I only had 2 beers left in the fridge. So, I used this recipe for fried crappie. A real winner. Try 2/3 cup flour and 1/3 cup cornmeal. That's good too! (I cut back a little on the salt). Thanks.

I'm 15 went out fishing today and caught 3 large mouth bass.
I have never had bass before and my uncle said the only thing to do was fry them so I cuttem up and fried them and tasted it..

Best piece of fish i have ever had. Period.

Used this last night with Tilapia. It was good but not great. Much too salty for me due to my hypertension, even though I only used half the salt it called for. I did like the consistency of the batter. Will use it on cod next time.
Thanks for the recipe

My husband thought this was the best batter I've ever made. I decreased the salt by 1 tsp... I was told to keep the recipe cause he wanted it again.. nice and fluffy, crunchy and tasty.. We live on the Mississippi so we eat lots of fish..

this is the best batter.. I've used it for fish, onions, mushrooms, and chicken..

I cut back the salt by a teaspoon and added a teaspoon of sugar and the onion rings were great.

Before I dipped the cod in this batter I marinated it in a red wine, and man I've never had a more delicious piece of cod. I'm an 18 year old college student and boy were my room mates happy when I brought this to the dinner table. Thanks fellow cooks! :)

Excellent recipe for fish... I substituted sugar for the salt and man oh man did the onion rings turn out excellent... Everyone was begging for the recipe... Thank you... Thank you... Thank you... Excellent recipe!

I am a 3rd year college student and I used this recipe during the month of November to cook deep fried fish and it turned out delicious. It was so good I shared it with people next to me in my dorm.

So very easy. And as good as some with many more steps. The vinegar certainly gives it a good taste and aroma while cooking. I really enjoyed this recipe.

I added a little more flour to thicken up the batter. Besides that it worked great. Husband loved it!

Really nice! My mother and brother loved the fish but said the onion rings were OK.
