Here's the recipe from a famous Sioux City drive-in that is known for their onion chips. I've cut the recipe down to 1/3 because the original I have is for restaurant purposes.
1/2 lb flour
1/2 C water
1/2 C milk
1/3 egg - beaten
2 t salt
4 t sugar
1 t melted shortening
Golden Dipt breading or cracker meal
Combine all dry ingredients except the breading or cracker meal. Slowly add the milk and water while mixing until batter is smooth. Add the shortening.
Dip the onion in the batter, then in the dry breading or cracker meal. Fry.
I've never done it but I would suppose it would make a decent fish batter as well. Might want to add some pepper or other favorit spices if you're going to do that though.
