Method
Preparation of Halibut Fish Crispies
- 1
Prepare the Halibut
Rinse the halibut fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Cut the fillets into bite-sized pieces.
- 2
Make the Batter
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually whisk in the cold water until the batter is smooth and has no lumps.
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a large, deep skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- 4
Coat the Fish
Dip each piece of halibut into the batter, ensuring they are well-coated.
- 5
Fry the Fish
Carefully place the battered halibut pieces into the hot oil, frying them in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Preparation of French Fries
- 6
Cut the Potatoes
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into thin strips for fries.
- 7
Soak the Potatoes
Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
