Makes enough for four 6-7 oz (175-200 g) pieces of fish

4 oz (110 g) self-raising flour
½ teaspoon salt
5 fl oz (150 ml) water, plus 1 scant tablespoon

Just sift the flour and salt into a mixing bowl, then gradually add the water, whisking continuously until the batter is smooth and free from lumps.

From my mother's bero book

[mark]

use half flour half cornflour makes it much harder/crisper

I've also swapped the water for beer but only if the beer wasn't worth drinking

[christighe]

add some ice cold beer.

Make sure the oil is very very hot before you put the fish in.

Roll the fish in Rice flour before putting it into the batter mix.

1/4 pint of ice cold badger original ale.
pinch salt
2oz cornflour
3 oz plain flour
1 tablespoon melted butter

trick is to rest your batter in the fridge for at least an hour before use and make sure the oil you fry it in is REALLY hot!!

Add two table spoons of vinegar, works every time.
