Battered Fish

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Batter

    In a large bowl, mix together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Gradually whisk in the cold beer or sparkling water until the batter is smooth and thick.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C).

  3. 3

    Batter the Fish

    Dip each fish fillet into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated.

  4. 4

    Fry the Fish

    Carefully place the battered fish fillets into the hot oil. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
