Method
Fish Preparation
- 1
Marinate the Fish
In a large bowl, combine the white fish fillets with lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well to ensure the fish is evenly coated. Cover and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Batter Preparation
- 2
Prepare the Batter
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add cold water while whisking until the batter is smooth and has a consistency similar to pancake batter.
Frying the Fish
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan, pour in the vegetable oil and heat it over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dropping a small amount of batter into it; if it bubbles and rises to the surface, it is ready.

Fry the Fish
Dip each marinated fish fillet into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated. Carefully place the battered fish into the hot oil, a few pieces at a time to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the fish from the oil and drain on paper towels.

Plate and Serve
Serve the fried fish hot with lemon wedges, tartar sauce, French fries, and coleslaw on the side. Enjoy your delicious fried fish meal!
