Crispy Fish Ingredients

Method

Crispy Fish Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Batter

    In a large bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually whisk in the cold sparkling water until the batter is smooth. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

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

  3. 3

    Coat the Fish

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

  4. 4

    Fry the Fish

    Carefully lower the coated fish fillets into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.

  5. 5

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the fried fish from the oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with lemon wedges and tartar sauce.
