House-Autry Fish and Chips Batter Mix 5 lb
House-Autry Fish and Chips Batter Mix 5 lb is a wheat and corn flour blend you whisk with cold water and fry at 350F. The crust comes out thin and crisp rather than bready, and the same bag coats onion rings and chicken pieces. Chip trucks, pub kitchens, and church hall fish fries use it because it behaves the same way every shift. ChickenPieces.com ships it from Calgary to anywhere in Canada.

House-Autry Fish and Chips Batter Mix is a 5 lb bag of pre-mixed wheat and corn flour batter that pub kitchens, chip trucks, and catering operations reach for when they want a thin, crisp fish fry without building a scratch program. Whisk it with cold water, dip, and fry at 350F. When your Friday fish special runs four hours straight and the fryer never gets a break, a batter that holds its cling matters more than any recipe tweak, and one 5 lb bag carries most kitchens through 90 to 120 fillets. Onion rings, chicken tenders, and fried pickles come off the same bag.
House-Autry Fish and Chips Batter Mix 5 lb: what it does on a fryer line
House-Autry has been milling breadings and batters for over 200 years, and this bag is the no-fuss version: a wheat and corn flour blend that hydrates the same way on every shift, with a mild grain profile that doesn't fight your salt, malt vinegar, or house dusting. The crust fries up thin and golden, not the thick bready shell that swallows a cod fillet.
For a kitchen manager, the appeal is repeatability. Any prep cook can build a Friday fish special from this bag without a scratch recipe card, and the same mix covers onion rings, tenders, and fish tacos on the same line. It handles cod, haddock, and halibut the same way, which matters when your fish supplier swaps species on you mid-week.

"Every Lent we get calls for this from church halls and legions across Alberta. One 5 lb bag carries a busy pub kitchen through roughly 100 fillets. We keep four bags on the shelf through Lent because nobody wants to run out mid-service."
Fish and chips is one of the few plates a kitchen can add without buying new equipment, and a pre-mixed dry batter takes the two failure points out of scratch work: flour ratios that drift batch to batch, and a prep cook guessing at liquid volume. Canadian operators run this mix for Lenten fish fry nights in church halls and legions, for patio service through the summer, and for off-site catering jobs where the fryer travels. It's also a clean fit for chip trucks and concession trailers, where a 5 lb bag stores dry in a cupboard and never needs refrigeration. If you're building out a fried menu, our food service range covers the oils, baskets, and coatings that go alongside it.
Quality and specifications
5 lb (2.27 kg) bag of fine dry powder, a wheat and corn flour blend with a mild grain profile and no built-in seasoning. Hydrates to a thin dipping consistency and fries at 350F (177C) to a light, golden-brown shell. One bag covers roughly 90 to 120 fish portions at 5 to 6 oz fillets. Contains wheat and gluten. See the bag for the full ingredient and allergen statement.
Professional applications
Pub-style fish and chips with cod, haddock, or halibut and thick-cut chips. Onion rings and zucchini sticks for the app section. Fried chicken pieces and tenders. Fish tacos on a lunch menu. Fried pickles for shareables. Church, legion, and community fish fry suppers where you're plating 200 covers in a single night.
Storage and handling
Keep the bag sealed in a cool, dry spot, away from the fryer line, the dish pit, and any steam source. Reseal or move to an airtight container after opening, and never scoop with a wet utensil. Once mixed, hold the batter bowl over ice and start a small fresh batch rather than topping up one that's been sitting out. Best-before date is printed on the bag.
Canadian sourcing
Country of origin and certification details are printed on the bag. ChickenPieces.com stocks the 5 lb bag at our Calgary warehouse and ships coast to coast, all 10 provinces and 3 territories, in 2 to 3 business days. Same blend, same SKU, every order, so your Friday batter behaves the same in February as it does in July.
