Arthur Treacher's Fried Fish

Recipe Ingredients

3 lbs	1362g / 48oz	Firm white fish fillets
2 tablespoons	30ml	Lemon juice
1 cup	237ml	Milk - or more as needed
2 cups	125g / 4.4oz	Flour
3 cups	330g / 11oz	Pancake mix
2 cups	396g / 13oz	Club soda - (approximately)
1 teaspoon	5ml	Basil
1 teaspoon	5ml	Freshly-ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon	2.5ml	Garlic salt
		Cooking oil - for frying

Recipe Instructions

Cut fish fillets in half, making triangular shape. Cover with milk and lemon juice and refrigerate 3 to 4 hours. Drain off milk. Dip fillets in flour to coat each piece lightly. Let dry on a cookie sheet, making sure pieces do not touch.

Add oil to deep fryer or heavy pan to a depth of at least 3 inches. Heat oil to 425 degrees. Combine pancake mix, basil, pepper, garlic salt and enough soda to make a thick batter, about the consistency of buttermilk. Dip floured fillets in batter and add to the hot oil one at a time. Fry 4 to 5 minutes.

Remove filets to cookie sheet, again, not letting them touch and keep warm in a 250 degree oven. (Do not heap fish as this creates steam in the oven and makes coating soft.) Deep fry remaining filets, keeping the depth of the oil at least 3 inches.
