    Dredge fish pieces in flour and shake off as much as you can BEFORE dipping in batter. IThe batter will stay stuck to the fish better and aloe batter to puff perfectly!. From a former LJS long time Manager! Your recipe is almost correct!

    The Club Soda is probably an important ingredient for this recipe, but we didn't use CS at Long John Silvers in the late 70s. I worked there for four years ('76-'80), and we would simply open a white paper bag of pre-measured powdered batter mix, dump the entire contents into the (3-gal) stainless steel mixing bucket, place it under the water dispenser, push the dispenser button, whereupon it would dispense the pre-measured amount of good old fashioned Houston tap water into the bucket (not club soda). Then we would whisk it up to a smooth consistency and get our a$$ back up on the line and cook some fish - 3.5 minutes in a 350-degree vat of peanut oil. I still know the exact consistency the batter should be for operations. If we held any leftover batter overnight in the refrigerator it would thicken up and you would have to add some more water to it in the morning. The video batter was still just a tad on the thick side.

      Facts from charlotex1 ! I'm a veteran of about 6 1/2 years combined in the 80's. I was fortunate enough to work in a great Shoppe that was managed well for most of my time there. I even went back for a while when I landed a job that went wrong quickly.
      I'm wondering where this idea of Club Soda came from. I wish I'd dug deeper into the actual recipe back then, cause I'm sure I could have found out. Also, the batter had a butter flavor, so these "reproduction" recipes are missing it. I'm going to start experimenting for myself!

      ¾ cup Flour
      2 tablespoon Cornstarch
      ¼ teaspoon Baking Soda
      ¼ teaspoon Baking Powder
      1 teaspoon Salt
      1 teaspoon Sugar
      ¼ teaspoon Onion Powder
      ¼ teaspoon Garlic Powder
      ¾ cup Water

      I just use cold tap water too. Turns out great! One trick is to not over mix.I use a wire wisk. If you over mix you get the gluten going on and the batter will be tough...not light and crispy.👍🤗💖

    While that isn't the batter recipe, I hope people do try it.
    Clues on frying:
    The frozen fish had a bit of cornmeal dusting so the batter would stick. The batter consistency should be such after stirring with a whisk will drip off hanging like thin shoestrings. Not fast but not too slow. Dip your fish with tongs, push down then pull back up. Let a little excess drip off before slipping into the vat.
    We used big vats set at 350 degrees. If you're not using big commerical frying vats of melted shortening, you shouldn't put more than 2 pieces at a time in. You'll cool the vat down too much.
    While we used soybean oil shortening, I recommend non hydrogenated canola oil. It has a higher smoke point and adds no flavor to whatever is cooked in it.
    Be sure to strain out any particulates from your oil on a weekly basis. Also cook french fry cut potatoes after the fish. It helps the oil not stink.

    I remember tasting the batter before we fried the food way back when I worked at LJS's, and it had a kinda licorice taste to it. We joked that it was opium in an attempt to get people hooked on it. It came to us in bags of pre made powder, and we just added water to it

  • @wadessirenvideos6750
    @wadessirenvideos6750 3 года назад +1

    You did a good thing by blotting the fish fillets with paper towels to reduce spattering of hot oil when ready to fry them. The great thing about making this fried fish yourself is that you can avoid using a cooking oil that has trans fats, which are very bad for you. You can make all the batter crumbs you want to compliment the fish. Also, the temperature of the oil you can set to your preference. Wish I could be there and smell the fish fry.

    Save waste: Pre-cook (par-boil/blanch or whatever) some potato wedges/fries and pat dry on paper towel. While fish is draining oil, tip the fries into the batter, then place them one by one into the hot oil pan. They are yummy! (If any batter is still left over, scout around the kitchen for anything else that needs frying, like slices of spam etc). Relax in front of the TV.

    I believe Toms Kitchen would still be making videos had he learned some camera basics. He's too close to the food, most of the batter mixing process was looking at the back of his hand and he some of the ingredients weren't even visible on the camera.
    I say this only because cooking shows are off the hook and if he learned the camera basics like making sure everything is in frame and mix his stuff in such a way that we can see it, I believe he'd still be making videos with a million subscribers instead of just 450.

If I were him I would file suit against you for every possible civil claim imaginable, plus I would call in favors from my significant connections in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky where LJS has legal nexus, to bring criminal charges for Wire Fraud, since you claim my customers need not spend the money they always have with my company, because now they can achieve the same results at home because YOU have discovered my company's recipe, i.e., the single most valuable asset my company owns. Plus there are both civil and criminal charges related to Intellectual Property theft -- or even receiving such stolen IP from another party.
    So tell us, Tom, exactly how did you "discover" the "real" Long John Silver's recipe? And how do you know it's the "real" recipe?
