Fish Tacos
Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Fish
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually add cold water to create a smooth batter. Heat oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 350°F (175°C). Dip cod fillets into the batter, allowing excess to drip off, then carefully place them in the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-6 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
