1 to 2 C vegetable oil
2 lb fish fillets (tilapia) cut up
1.5 C flour in zip-loc
2 C dry pancake mix
2 C club soda (16oz bottle)
1 Tbsp onion powder
1 Tbsp Lowry's seasoned salt
tartar sauce

Pour oil into skillet or dutch oven to at least 1/2 inch deep.
Heat on stove or coals to about 425 degrees.

Drop fish pieces into flour and shake.
Place floured pieces on paper towel to dry for 4-5 minutes.

In bowl, whip pancake mix, club soda, onion powder, and seasoned salt. Batter should be a bit thinner than molasses - add soda until it is thin enough to pour.

Dip fish pieces into batter, then carefully drop into oil. Fry about 4 minutes and flip for 4 more minutes. Fish should be brown on all sides.

Cool on paper towel.

Serve with tartar sauce and french fries made in another dutch oven.

Serves 6-8.
