Question
how can I make the batter come out crispy when deep frying fish.

Answer
Dear Maurigan, I do apologize for not answering your question in a timely fashion.

Deep frying fish is a bit of an art.  I guess the degree of cispiness is what we are talking about here.  A thicker batter would tend to be more on the crispy side.  Also make sure that when you take the fish out of the deep fry that it can drain.  Preferably in a wire basket as opposed to maybe paper towels.  Try this recipe.
