North Atlantic haddock is the traditional/preferred fish for classic beer battered fish and chips. Using redfish or catfish would be akin to using bratwurst in a gumbo down here. Not that it would be bad, but it wouldn’t scratch the same itch. (Ok maybe it would be bad.)

Cod is more traditional as jews from Portugal brought fried fish to the UK. Cod is more popular than haddock in the UK as well although I believe haddock is preferred in the north of the UK. I prefer haddock myself.

You are going to be dissappointed if you use frozen cod or haddock over fresh local seafood. You just need something somewhat similar in texture and size. Catfish doesn’t do as well for instance because normally it is thin filets.

Haddock is good in beer battered fish, but it’s not used because it’s the best it’s used because that’s what’s available in the UK.
