Runny: It should be a thin consistency; you can easily pour the batter in hot oil. A thicker batter can result in a heavy or doughy texture. The batter is less thick and gives the seafood a very light coat, resulting in a nice, delicate, and crisp texture.
Seasoning: Make sure you also add seasoning to your batter. It adds a burst of umami to anything you cook! Or you can get creative and spice it up with some paprika, garlic powder, or cayenne pepper for a sizzling taste.
Drain Bech: Do not overload the pan while frying. A crowded pan can reduce the temperature of oil, leading to irregular cooking. The best will come out when you fry small batches.
Remove Extra Oil: After frying, place your seafood on a wire rack or paper towels to drain the extra oil. That helps drain any extra oil and keeps the batter crispy.
