Ingredients

FISH

2 cups biscuit mix

1 teaspoon dried dill weed

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon pepper

2 cups (16-ounces) beer

2 eggs, slightly beaten

2 to 3 pounds fish fillets*, cut into serving-size pieces

Additional biscuit mix

*Halibut, ling cod, salmon, trout, red snapper, bass and catfish do very nicely

TARTAR SAUCE

(I have never measured this in my life! Do a taste test and adjust if needed - I think this should be right)

1/3 c Kraft Real Mayo

1 -2 t minced onion (white or green)

2 t dill relish (sold by the pickles, it's just minced dill pickles)

Juice from a lemon wedge

Directions

FISH

In a large mixing bowl, combine mix, dill weed, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper together.

Add beer and eggs and mix well.

Dredge fish fillets in additional biscuit mix and immerse in the prepared batter.

Refrigerate fillets in the batter for 20 to 30 minutes.

Heat deep-fat fryer to 375*F (190*C).

Remove fillets from the batter one at a time, allowing excess batter to drip off.

Fry 2 to 3 fillets at a time in the hot oil until golden brown, about 3 to 5 minutes.

(Over-crowding will result in reduced temperature of the oil causing the fish to absorb the oil and become greasy.)

Drain on paper towels.

TATAR SAUCE

Stir together and serve with hot fish

Batter recipe sounds great - especially for catfish! I too grew up on homemade tartar sauce, only different ingredient in Mom's was a little bit of horseradish...I leave it out most of the time though. Great post, thanks!

I just wanted to come back and let you know that I made this the other night fo dinner, and it was as good as it looks! I made extra, and it all still got gobbled up in one dinner! The tartar sauce came out delicious as well, I added more dill relish to it on my husband's request. This was like 2 great recipes in one! Thanks again for such a great post!

Since my dad passed we just don't have the fresh fish in the house like we did growing up. He was the real fisherman in the family. This recipe will have to be tried on store-bought fish but it sounds good enough for any fish -- fresh or store-bought.

I made tartar sauce last night, same recipe except I added a dab of mustard, one pack of slenda. I usually make it just like you do, but tried this for something different and it tasted pretty good!

Thanks...I might try the mustard...I don't put sugar/splenda in slaw or potato salad or anything else mayo based (or tomato based), though.
