Fish batter?

Here's some science behind the whole beer batter thing.

Never use a hoppy IPA.  It is all I had once and the batter tasted like dish soap.

After mixing the ingredients allow your batter to cool and rest in the frige for 30 minutes prior to use.  This gives the dry ingredients a chance to absorb the moisture (beer) evenly.  Pat the fillets or chunks dry (with a paper towel) before dredging in seasoned dry base coating and then allow them sit (coated) about 10 minutes or so before drenching in the COLD batter.  This step allows the gluten to form an adhesive which bonds to the surface of the flesh. It also provides a better surface for the batter to cling to so it won't come off during frying.        

For larger parties it's going to be Pride of the West prepared with Rogue or Ninkasi beer. 

Smaller doses, it's the same as above or the apply the Pride of the West directly to the fish dry, then dip in an egg wash, then Panko.  Da Bomb!

We like to dip ours in egg, then roll in Louisiana Fish Fry.  It's corn based (gluten free) and a little spicy.  Pretty damned amazing.

+1 on the Louisiana Fish Fry. I like it because it's a bit spicy and very light rather than a heavy breading...excellent for fried ling/cabbie nuggets. I've always just dipped it in cold water as per the instructions but I'll try egg next time.

The trick with dipping any fish into water, milk, or egg wash (aka...liquid binder) and then in a dry powder coating and expecting it to stay there while frying is to just lay it on a plate to rest for 10=15 minutes. 

This allows everything to coagulate and become one.  If this isn't allowed to happen properly, the liquid binder
will steam and slough off the powder based coating.

Which flavor?  I looked them up online and there seems to be a few different flavors.
