Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    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 a smooth batter forms.

  2. 2

    Heat the oil

    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F).

  3. 3

    Batter the fish

    Dip each fish fillet into the batter, ensuring they are fully coated.

  4. 4

    Fry the fish

    Carefully place the battered fish fillets into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.

  5. 5

    Drain and serve

    Remove the fried fish from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with lemon wedges and tartar sauce on the side.
