Fried Fish Ingredients

Method

Fried Fish Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Batter

    In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well to combine.

  2. 2

    Mix Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together the egg and milk until well combined.

  3. 3

    Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

    Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until you have a smooth batter.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot (approximately 350°F or 175°C).

  5. 5

    Coat the Fish

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

  6. 6

    Fry the Fish

    Carefully place the battered fish fillets into the hot oil. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.

  7. 7

    Drain and Serve

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