Prepare the Batter
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually add the cold sparkling water, mixing until the batter is smooth and well combined.

Heat the Oil
In a deep skillet or fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure the oil is at the right temperature.

Batter the Halibut
Pat the halibut fillets dry with paper towels. Dip each fillet into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off.

Fry the Halibut
Carefully place the battered halibut fillets into the hot oil. Fry in batches, without overcrowding the pan, for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to remove the fillets and drain them on paper towels.
