Recipe - Arthur Treacher Style Fish

3 pound Fish Fillets; Firm, White
2 tablespoon Lemon juice
1 cup Milk; or more as needed
2 cup Flour
3 cup Pancake mix
2 cup Club Soda (approx.)
1 teaspoon Basil
1 teaspoon Pepper
One half teaspoon Garlic salt
Cooking oil

Cut fish fillets in half, making triangular shape. Cover with milk and
lemon juice and refrigerate 34 hours. Drain off milk. Dip fillets in
flour to coat each piece lightly. Let dry on a cookie sheet, making sure
pieces do not tough. Add oil to deep fryer or heavy pan to a depth of at
least 3 inches. Heat oil to 425~. Combine pancake mix, basil, pepper,
garlic salt and enough soda to make a thick batter, about the consistency
of buttermilk. Dip floured fillets in batter and add to the hot oil one at
a time. Fry 45 minutes. Remove filets to cookie sheet, again, not letting
them touch and keep warm in a 250~ oven. Deep fry remaining filets, keeping
the depth of the oil at least 3 inches. NOTE: Do not heap fish as this
creates steam in the oven and makes coating soft.
