Hi I have some fish for dinner and want to do a sort of fish and chips but don't want to deep fry the fish. Have s tovetop frypan and would like to just cook it in very little oil.Can anyone give me some suggestions please?I know I can coat it in breadcrumbs but would like to try just a sort of batter like the shops use if I can but not suer because of dry frying. Thanks so much in advance

just make a batter with flour water, have about 1/3 cup oil in pan, heat and test with a bit of the batter, then cook fish one side, then turn to the other

rainrain it worked out perfectly, thanks so much for your advise. I used a mix of flour, bp, water and a little vinegar someone suggested on another thread and then as you advised added enough oil just to get about 5mm on the bottom of the pan and it cooked up perfectly. Was better than the store bought ones as it wasn't deep fried. And then did some potato wedges with sour cream - just a great dinner.
