To be completley serious now, I actually use a batter called Andy's. They give it about 2 inches of shelf space in the supermarket. I know Meijer's and Walmart sells it for certain. Its really good. I always get the yellow batter, since they make two, a yellow and a red. The yellow has a good mild taste to it with a kick of pepper. I havent found a fish yet its not good, and it fries up really crisp.
