Method
For the Fish
- 1
Prepare the Dry Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
- 2
Make the Batter
Gradually whisk in the cold sparkling water until you have a smooth batter. Let it sit for about 10 minutes.
- 3
Heat the Oil
While the batter is resting, heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F).
- 4
Fry the Fish
Dip each fish fillet into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off, then carefully place it in the hot oil.
- 5
Finish Cooking the Fish
Fry the fish for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

Cook the French Fries

Warm the Gravy
While the fries are cooking, heat the gravy in a saucepan over medium heat until it is hot.

Plate the Fries
Once the fries are cooked, place them on a serving platter or individual plates.

Assemble the Poutine
Sprinkle the cheese curds generously over the hot fries, then pour the hot gravy over the top to melt the cheese.
