Who knows, maybe this weekend, your hub (or wife- yes there are wives that like to fish- i know first hand :-) might go fishing and catch a stringer of fish! I'm sure most of you have your own special recipe or technique for frying fish. Here is a fish batter recipe that we use all the time. It's quick, easy, and the fish are so delicious!
Fish Batter
1 lb fish fillets 1 cup all purpose flour 1/2 tsp sugar 1/2 tsp salt (add more if u like) 1 egg, beaten 3/4 cup cold water 2 tablespoons cooking oil (shortening for deep fat frying)
Season fillets with salt- just sprinkle some salt on the fish and let sit for a while. Combine flour, sugar, and 1/2 tsp salt. Combine egg, water, and oil; add to flour mixture. Beat smooth. Dip fish in batter. Fry for 5 minutes, or until golden brown.

I still remember getting the chips all wrapped up in paper......mmmmmmm..........Geez I need to quit thinking about them, it's making me too hungry...
And just to verify what bob said, I'm a wife and I love to fish....

Well, my ancestry is English (grandfather came to US, 1912), although i have never visited there. I would like visit there some day. I've heard about "fish and chips" and would love to see firsthand how good they are!
Went fishing again last evening. I caught 3 bass (lost 3), she caught one. She caught the largest one though... We fish at a secluded reservoir. There is so much vegetation and fallen trees along the water's edge- i like to wade in the water so that i can cast without getting my lure snagged. The downside is you here the snakes hit the water when they fall from the trees...
