I changed to a small amount of olive oil and Old Bay seasoning. Very good, healthier, and way easier to clean up.

My preference, any type of dry spice and a little Olive oil, pan seared, BUT it's not fish batter at least the old school kind.

My Dad's old VFW post had the best fried batter I've ever had. Old cook took the secret to his grave. One ingredient was room temp FLAT beer. After that I think it was the usual suspects. Made even old frozen cod taste great, a trick in itself.  ;) 8-)
