Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the batter

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Gradually add the beer or sparkling water to the dry ingredients, mixing until smooth.

  2. 2

    Heat the oil

    In a large, deep skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.

  3. 3

    Coat the haddock

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

  4. 4

    Fry the haddock

    Carefully place the coated fillets into the hot oil. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side.
