To keep the batter from sticking to the bottom of the basket, gently lower fish and hold it for a few seconds to allow it to form up a crust before dropping it into the basket.
You can swap the club soda for beer for a great flavor.
Have a little batter leftover? Slice up some onion rings, and make onion rings.
