The Classic Shore Lunch Coating.
Our classic version of a fry coating, seasoned to perfection. This will have people coming back for seconds! Take your shore lunch up a notch.
What is Canadian Classic:
This is the traditional fish fry coating that's been perfected over generations of Canadian shore lunches. Simple, seasoned, and designed to let the fish shine while adding a crispy, golden crust. No fancy flavors, no experiments — just classic fish fry done right.
The Coombs & Co approach:
Coombs & Co crafted this batter specifically for fresh-caught fish. The seasoning is balanced to complement rather than overpower your catch. Whether you're frying walleye on a lake shore or cod in your kitchen, Canadian Classic delivers consistent, delicious results.
Why "classic" is sometimes best:
-
Familiar flavor: The fish fry taste everyone loves
-
Versatile: Works with any fish species
-
Consistent: Reliable results every time
-
Kid-approved: No unusual flavors to reject
-
Crowd-pleasing: Nobody doesn't like classic fish fry
Perfect for:
-
Walleye: The Canadian shore lunch classic

-
Pike: Firm flesh fries up beautifully
-
Pickerel: Another Canadian favorite
-
Cod: Fish and chips perfection
-
Any fresh catch: Works on all fish

Chicken: Not just for fish — try it on tenders
How to use:
- Pat fish fillets dry for best coating adhesion
- Dredge fish thoroughly in the batter mix
- Fry in hot oil (350-375°F) until golden brown
- Drain on paper towels
- Serve immediately with lemon wedges and tartar sauce
Shore lunch tradition:
There's nothing quite like a shore lunch — fresh-caught fish, fried golden on the spot, eaten with friends and family by the water. Canadian Classic Batter is designed for that experience, whether you're actually at the lake or recreating the magic at home.
Pro tips:
- Hot oil is key — if it's not hot enough, the coating absorbs oil
- Don't crowd the pan — fry in batches
- Season the fish with salt before coating for deeper flavor
- Serve immediately — fried fish waits for no one
- Keep it classic — sometimes simple is perfect
