Recipe: Danelle's Frugal Deep Fry Fish Batter Recipe
This frugal batter recipe is great for deep frying fish if you want it to taste restaurant-style. I had fish to fry, but had no beer to make a beer batter or Tempura mix. All the recipes I knew took one of those two ingredients, and I knew I could make a batter without an unnecessary (and expensive) trip to the grocery store.

This recipe is written for a deep fryer.
