Method

For the Fish

  1. 1

    Prepare the Batter

    In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually whisk in the cold beer or sparkling water until the batter is smooth and thick.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep fryer or large pot, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

  3. 3

    Coat the Fish

    Dip each fish fillet into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated.

  4. 4

    Fry the Fish

    Carefully place the battered fish into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 5–7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
