Cooking Instructions

1. Prepare the Fish

Cut the fish fillets into bite-sized chunks and pat them dry with paper towels.

2. Make the Batter

In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Gradually whisk in the cold water until the batter is smooth and has a slightly thick consistency.

3. Heat the Oil

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

4. Fry the Fish

Dip each piece of fish into the batter, ensuring it is well coated. Carefully place the battered fish chunks into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

5. Drain and Serve

Remove the fried fish from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce or wedges of lime.
