Battered Fish Recipe
If fried battered fish is on the menu, an old standby trick is to
use
a quality ginger ale as your liquid for the batter mix. Beer works
well,
but ginger ale is cheaper and less troublesome for
those who avoid alcoholic beverages. Another trick for getting a
lighter
textured batter: Use ice-cold water or ginger ale in the batter, and
keep
it as cold as possible. This is the trick that one major fast seafood
restaurant uses to keep the batter from becoming too heavy. By
keeping the
batter near freezing, the oil does not penetrate the batter as well,
but
does continue to cook it. The result is a lighter texture for both
fish and coating.
