Ingredients
Method
Directions
- 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, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually add water to the dry ingredients while whisking until you achieve a smooth batter.
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. The oil should be hot enough for frying (around 350°F or 180°C).
- 4
Coat the Fish
Dip each fish fillet into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow any excess batter to drip off.
- 5
Fry the Fish
Carefully place the coated fish fillets into the hot oil, frying them in batches if necessary. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
- 6
Drain and Serve
Once cooked, remove the fish from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side.
