Thank you DC.

You are very welcome.

[@user-lc1hp5be5k]

Awesome, thank you!!!

[@morrismonet3554]

Give a man a fish he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish, he sits in a boat and drinks beer all day.😂 I do love fish sandwiches too.

[@dbprice100]

LOL

[@josephgaviota]

Julia and Bridget: I always enjoy watching what these two women have to say.

[@sheenasilva9591]

I grew up watching these ladies, im so happy they're still around! Always phenomenal recipes, never failed me 15 years going strong.

[@gingerp1601]

And they've been on the air for 22 - time to seek out those "lost" episodes!

[@gribble2979]

I have been searching for the best fish sandwich for years. Making this this week for certain!

[@mddell58]

Pretty sure you just found it! Me, too. 😃

[@jahjoeka]

[@dawgg0077]

Julia, beauty and talent; a dangerous combination!

[@thihal123]

Love the tartar sauce!! It all looks delicious.

[@tinataylor9486]

I can’t wait to try this! My boys have recently discovered they like fish, so I want to find new ways to serve it & I know they will like this!

[@Marjoss1]

That fork trick just blew my mind, thank you so much for another great video!

[@wauliepalnuts6134]

I learned that fork technique @ 4:53 as a result of this video. I've used it ever since and it's never failed. Thank you!

[@martaaberg3330]

Very happy to have the formula for the batter! Now, what I would love to see is a vid about storing used oils. I don't deep fry much any more because it takes such a lot of oil, and seems such a waste to me. What's the best way to keep it for reuse?

[@gingerp1601]

Filter it, cool it down, store it in a cool place, even the fridge or freezer. For breaded or battered foods like this, ATK has found you can reuse the oil about three more times before it starts to give off flavors. For "cleaner" foods like potato chips, the oil can be used about eight times. Be mindful of what food you fry in it and when - you wouldn't want to fry doughnuts in oil previously used for fish. When the oil is truly spent, how you dispose of it depends on whoever is responsible for garbage and recycling in your area as oil disposal will vary from place to place. You may also be able to dispose of the oil at a local restaurant with a waste cooking oil receptacle. BTW, ATK added a video here 3 years ago that shows a way of "cleaning" the oil with cornstarch and water. 🔎🤷‍♀

[@rmp3636]

What's the best way to filter used oil? Coffee filters? Cheesecloth? ???

[@1babysag]

I can taste the fish through the video! Excellent, elegant, and simple, the way a sandwich needs to be.

[@josephreyes7610]

Thank you for such an awesome video. Simple clear and concise with information! Love it

[@adrenalinehigh2070]

I love the way she explains the why this and that. Very nice!

There are many talented chefs out there. I like these guys but I love to try other people too and have found just a few others I like to watch

[@littlelamb6804]

@@wambamit344 yes, there are many other chefs that aren't from tv that are just as good - if not better than Americas test kitchen.

[@rjjeffreys]

Haddock is absolutely my favourite in a sandwich. Julia and Bridgette make it look even more delicious!

[@fabulousrobert6607]

A slice of cheese also melts nicely as well. 🧀 😊

[@mddell58]

Oh, oh my! Seriously, y'all, that looks so very good. Mmmm. I'm so very hungry now. I'll try to make that exact fish sandwich. 🥪 So looking forward to THAT recipe! Wishing you both a beautiful week. 🇺🇲

Julia and Bridget - That looks wonderful, so crispy and delicious.

I love this channel! The dorections are clear and easy to follow :)

[@ratlips4363]

This ought to beat the old Mickey D's fish sandwich that I used to eat as a teen in the mid 60s...thanks

[@keciacotton4895]

The type of fish that you use is very important. Haddock/Cod are perfect. And the beer lends those open spaces in the crispy batter! Way to go ladies!!!!

[@damned_1]

This looks so delicious/easy!! 😋

[@theastewart6721]

This looks delicious! Thanks for sharing!

[@luludi3]

I'm so excited to try this recipe!! Honestly. I have tried many batter recipes before that are either gummy or side right off the fish. Thank you for this video!🐟🍔

How do you dispose the used oil? Thank you. 🌺

[@4speed3pedals]

Hooray! a recipe without adding sodium. Thank you.

Can’t wait to make this 😊

[@korkordowuona9479]

Will certainly try this fish recipe. Thanks for sharing.

[@HardCold-Alquan]

I thought that fried fish sandwiches were classic southern sandwiches? That fish looks better than what you get from ordering out.

[@Richard-fh6fe]

I'm a native american from the red lake nation in minnesota. Walleye's big up here. I started getting into cooking more because restaurants got to expensive. Not saying food isn't expensive,but I'd rather make it the way I like it and close the restaurant taste. They have many Online copy cat channels, and i've tried many of them. The kfc gravy, The applebee's spinach Artichoke dip. I too have been watching these two ladies since the nineties. I've made many of their dishes and they've always been awesome. Good job ladies. And I think bridget is hubba hubba. She's got that sly sexy smile. "Chee-meegwetch" (Big-Thank-You) A T K!

[@tamaramorton8812]

Everything looks wonderful in this video. You’re inspiring me to make it. I’m hungry right now so that’s inspiring me, too. 😊 Thanks so much for sharing this recipe and technique. Yum!

[@Quelkaima]

I'm not big into fish, but this looks like a great batter to use for fried chicken fillet sandwiches! Chicken brined in pickle juice with a beer batter crust on a toasted brioche bun with some kosher dill pickles underneath... I'm making myself hungry again. 😆

[@HardCold-Alquan]

To hell with pickles!

[@Quelkaima]

@@HardCold-Alquan More for me, then! 😆

[@meversace]

I'll be trying this. I've always wanted a good fried fish recipe.

[@Jon-sy3tx]

Great recipe! I'm a little surprised you didn't dredge the fish in a little flour before putting it in the tempura batter

[@OfficiallyEvita]

It’s the same with chicken cutlets. The flour dredge isn’t needed and in my experience, it causes the crust to separate from the meat

[@user-gf2xp5ep5r]

Love it thanks Ladies ! Can’t wait to try this recipe!🐟

[@heatherpoulson5407]

I made the tartar sauce and it is so delicious! I will not buy bottled again. ❤️

[@patriciadannatt4886]

Yum yum im from the UK that is near to perfection well done...

[@wotan10950]

Looks great! I enjoy trying my hand at many of the ATK recipes, and they’re almost always great. But what should I do with all that oil? Vegetable oil is expensive, and it seems a waste to use two quarts for four pieces of fish.

[@UntakenNick]

I use my frying oil three or four times, then I start using it for smaller fried meals like breaded meat in a small pan.

[@faithnelson6069]

@@UntakenNick do you just store it in the same pot?

[@UntakenNick]

@@faithnelson6069 No, I put it back in the original bottle through a very fine sieve. (I use it for french fries, not fish, though).

[@morrismonet3554]

I strain it into a metal coffee can and put it in the fridge.

[@ashleybankscoaching]

I just throw mine out. But that's only because I never deep fry so I don't need to save it after the recipe. I dispose of it in some bags or a random empty product container

[@NeighborofKT]

Nothing beats a walleye sandwich!

[@sinjin90ful]

you all are great, keep up the good work!

[@wassytrini]

That little tidbit about the fork....mind blown... I used to get frustrated while using tongs, the batter coming off....and the dragging it through the hot oil. Next time I fry fish!

[@josephgaviota]

2:15 What a CUTE little whisk !!! I've never seen a baby whisk before!

Bridget, Julia, the trick to pronouncing Worchestershire sauce is this: "What's this here sauce?" Say it quickly.

[@painful1978]

Is it possible to replace the beer with 7up or any soft drink with lemon or orange flavour?

[@littlelamb6804]

I tried replacing beer with Perrier. Did not work. In fact the whole recipe was a complete FLOP!!! Batter stuck and then slid right off the fish in the oil. Will not use this recipe again. Too fattening frying in oil anyway.

[@captainskippy6622]

Don’t forget the malt vinegar! Great video.

[@richardnedbalek1968]

Saved this vid! (As if I’ll ever attempt this…)

[@JimBobH13]

I've never found a store-bought tartar sauce that could compare with what Julia and Bridget made. I'd like to suggest that ATK rate store-bought tartar sauce.

[@msr1116]

I wonder if pom tongs could work as well by avoiding the dinner fork's tines poking holes into the fillet.

THAT is NOT "1 1/2 TEASPOONS" of shallots (1:42)! More like 1 1/2 TABLESPOONS (which is fine).

[@atiyehatiyeh8322]

It looks very delicious Juliet Bridget my question is is there something we can do to use other than the beer and the gluten to make the fish crispy?

[@lynnstlaurent6789]

She said you can use seltzer instead of beer. Potato starch has protein but I have no experience using it. I have used seltzer and it’s great.

[@gingerp1601]

A comment on the recipe's web page said that they didn't know if this recipe was tested with gluten-free flour, but that they had decent results using King Arthur GF flour in a deep-fried calamari recipe.

[@richardreynolds2322]

It's Maillard reaction, not Mayard. Bridget pronounced it correctly, but whoever writes the captions got it wrong.

[@tisa6193]

Oh, never sweet pickle relish! I use dill pickle relish and add some of the pickle juice to the mayonnaise instead of vinegar.

[@csmats5374]

The beer with the fish sandwich.

[@TheDevnul]

1/2 tsp salt that mostly stays in the bowl?

[@ElijahPerry-bp5cw]

Wooster Shire. Time to get fried 😊 let the excess batter drip into the oil.

[@littlelamb6804]

I tried it and was underwhelmed with results.

[@sandilobianco6734]

I found a YT video called Easy crispy battered fish by Simply Mama cooks. She used baking powder instead of cornstarch and mineral water instead of beer. She got a lot of rave reviews.

[@weege001]

had fish and chips at the moss beach distillery, was pretty good. but the crust got a bit soft

try Barbara's Fish Trap. i've never had any bad fried fish there. probably a tad less expensive too, but not as romantic.
