Method
Fish Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Fish
Rinse the fish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
- 2
Make the Batter
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. In another bowl, beat the eggs and mix in the cold water. Gradually combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients, whisking until smooth.
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test if the oil is ready by dropping a small amount of batter into it; if it bubbles and rises, it's ready.
- 4
Fry the Fish
Dip each fish fillet into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off. Carefully place the battered fish in the hot oil, cooking in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to remove the fish and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Tartar Sauce
- 5
Combine Ingredients
In a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise, finely chopped dill pickles, capers, lemon juice, and chopped dill or parsley. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.
- 6
Season the Sauce
Taste the tartar sauce and season with salt and black pepper to your liking. Adjust the flavors as desired.
- 7
Chill and Serve
Refrigerate the tartar sauce for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve alongside the fried fish.
