Southern hospitality is known the world over and the Southern style of cooking might be a bit fattening but it sure does taste good. For generations, fish have been getting a nice batter coating down South so add a little something extra to the fish. Generally speaking they use cod or some other white fish, but batter can be used on any kind of fish that you want. Here's a basic, yet tasty, Southern favorite: beer batter.
