I love taking my fresh fish to restaurants in Alabama/Florida that do the hook & cook programs. However, does anyone have a copy cat recipe that is similar to the batter these restaurants use?

I would love to go to a restaurant like that! Looks tasty!
These types of batter typically have a significant amount of cornstarch in them. Try this:
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup corn starch
1 tsp baking powder
Seasonings to taste
Cold beer or club soda
Some people dredge the fish in the dry mixture before they wet batter it. Make sure the wet batter is about the consistency of pancake batter or thin paint. The excess should run off the fish pretty quickly and still leave the fish thinly coated at the same time
Some recipes might use self rising flour and cornstarch instead. Sometimes they substitute cornstarch for corn meal. Play around with the amount of corn starch. A higher ratio of corn starch to flour will change the thickness and crispiness of the recipe. Typically less corn starch is more heavy and more corn starch is lighter. Some recipes include milk in the wet batter.
