Drain and shake well and set to one side.Put some flour onto a plate. Dredge the fish fillets in the flour thoroughly - this is VERY important, it stops the batter sliding off when fried! Leave the fish fillets in the flour whilst you make the batter.Some people say you should make the batter at least one hour before - I have found little difference - so make it before if it is convenient or now!Put flour, bicarbonate of soda, salt and pepper into a large roomy bowl.

Recommended wine: Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, Pinot Noir

Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, and Pinot Noir are my top picks for Fish. Fish is as diverse as wine, so it's hard to pick wines that go with every fish. A crisp white wine, such as a pinot grigio or Grüner Veltliner, will suit any delicately flavored white fish. Meaty, strongly flavored fish such as salmon and tuna can even handle a light red wine, such as a pinot noir. You could try Chehalem 3 Vineyard Pinot Gris. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 26 dollars per bottle.

A blend of three great vineyards, this vivid grape crafts a food-friendly wine, bright and pure. Gray it isn't. The knife-edged acid, with pear, lemon sorbet, spice and jasmine makes your mouth water and your hands shake.
