ISO Batter-fried fish recipe (without beer)

I have perch fillets that I want to cook for supper. Breading and frying them did not go over too well. I think a batter coating would go well. All the ones I found on the web were more or less the same idea. My sister tried one of the recipes and it was pretty blah. Anyone have a good recipe not calling for beer, which I don't have in the house?

Thanks. Im going to make this for dinner. My extremely picky son who eats a total of maybe 6 or 7 foods discovered that he loves fish sticks and told me that He'll try to eat a "big fish stick" if I make it for him. He explained to me he likes it because it has the breading on it. I'll let you know Smile

just found this on cooks.com
1 egg
1 c. pancake mix
8 oz. 7-Up (approximately)
Additional pancake mix
Mix egg, pancake mix and 7-Up together well. Dip thin fish fillets, which have been coated with pancake batter (shake both in plastic bag) and chilled about 20 minutes in mixture. Remove 1 at a time and deep fry for 4 to 6 minutes at about 400 degrees. Remove onto paper towels to drain.

it has great reviews. Maybe I'll try this one. I have whole wheat pancake mix at home, so maybe its a bit healthier Smile

In the review someone said they subsituted water for 7up and it came out good.

shoemaker, maybe I shouldnt be worrying about healthier though while trying to get a protein into him. Wink

mynameismom, that recipe sounds like it would turn out pretty sweet. Please let me know if it does. Meanwhile, I think I'll try shoemaker's recipe. Thanks.

shoemaker I made your recipe last night and my son ate a whole big piece!! I was so excited. He asked me to make it next time with breadcrumbs cause he likes the breadcrumbs on fishsticks so that's what I'll try next with him Smile
