How would this recipe work if you used cornmeal instead of flour
Try it and was impressed mind you l didn’t have lemonade handy only Indian tonic water which did the trick. I like the batter running and cooked in coconut oil, the mussels were especially tasty
yes will try this recipe out, sound good and yummy, cant wait.
Going to try this, have been craving NZ style fish ‘n chips, have to travel far here in LA to a Kiwi owned fish ‘n chip restaurant, otherwise you can’t find them. This looks like the taste of home! Here they use beer in lieu of lemonade, I might try half ‘n half. Thanks!
How would this work with cornmeal instead of flour

I tried this batter today it is the bomb I loved it đź’ś
Such a great batter. Love my oysters cooked in this batter.
I am going to try this batter recipe today with soda water and fry the oysters for my better half Will let you know how it turns out .sounds like a good recipe from the reviews .
This is my first time making battered fried mussels at home, followed the recipe because of the good reviews. Followed the recipe and instructions to the T, I used Lemonade Sprite a little more than instructed, until well mixed and thick but flexible I didn’t even dry my mussels out and this batter did not stick did not crumble cooked BEAUTIFULLY! And when I taste tested the first mussel, Delicious! Better than any takeaway and the taste of the batter and mussels together blend nicely, no mess, super easy to cook!, I turned my Nz stove on 3 to cook perfectly. Great recipe !
Have been in lock-down for 4 weeks so have been CRAVING fish’n’chips!!! This is the best home-made batter EVER! Thanks team for sharing the love!

Hi
I haven’t tried this exact recipe but something similar with Sprite and came no where close to the picture you’ve displayed above – SO Golden, SO perfect.
Is that Pic from your actual attempt at this Recipe and how does one get such a perfect rustic batter as I would call it?
Thanks
To remove the sugar factor, use plain soda water in place of lemonade.
Great tip, thanks for sharing!
Have tried this recipe and it was a hit with the family! Even my 8yr old who absolutely hates batter actually ate it, so I am about to use this batter again.
