For the Battered Fish

Prepare the Batter
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually whisk in the cold sparkling water until the batter is smooth and has no lumps. Let the batter rest for 30 minutes.

Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Ensure there’s enough oil to completely submerge the fish.

Coat and Fry the Fish
Dip each cod fillet into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off. Carefully place the battered fish into the hot oil and fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.
