Crispy Baja Fish Ingredients
Method
Cooking Directions
- 1
Prepare the Batter
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually add the beer, whisking until smooth. Let the batter rest for about 15 minutes.

Heat the Oil
In a large skillet or deep frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- 3
Coat the Fish
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels. Dip each fillet into the batter, ensuring they are well coated.

Fry the Fish
Carefully place the battered fish into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
