How To Make A Thick Batter?

I have been trying to get a thick corn meal batter on my crappie fillets but have had no luck. I would really like to hear some of you guys recipes or techniques for a thick batter on your fillets.

Thanks Gatortailman

I use Drake's Mix. Just add enough water till you get the thickness you want. Work's for me...

If I want a thicker batter, I drain my fillets and make sure they are dry as possible. Coat them with plain yellow mustard and then roll in cornmeal.

I use a tempura mix. Instead of water, I add COLD beer. The amount of beer added will adjust the amount of crust. Here's dinner from last night:

I do the same; but, I add some Louisiana sauce too. It makes the meal stick better. It also adds a slight "kick". Frying takse almost all of the "kick" out.
