Method
For the Fish
- 1
Prepare the Batter
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the beer (or sparkling water) and mix until smooth. Let the batter rest for about 30 minutes.
- 2
Heat the Oil
In a deep pot or fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure the oil reaches the right temperature.
- 3
Coat the Fish
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels. Dip each fillet into the batter, allowing excess batter to drip off.
- 4
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. Remove and let drain on paper towels.
