Fish Batter

Method

Preparing the Fish

1

Make the Batter

In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually whisk in the cold sparkling water until the batter is smooth and slightly thick.

2

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). Use a thermometer for accuracy.

3

Batter the Fish

Dip each piece of fish fillet into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated. Let any excess batter drip off.

4

Fry the Fish

Carefully place the battered fish fillets 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 cooked through. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

Preparing the Sides

5

Prepare the French Fries

Cook the French fries according to package instructions or deep fry fresh-cut potatoes until golden and crisp. Drain on paper towels and season with salt.

6

Make the Coleslaw

In a separate bowl, combine the coleslaw mix, mayonnaise, white vinegar, sugar, and salt. Toss until the mix is evenly coated and refrigerate until serving.

7

Prepare Serving

Cut the lemon into wedges for serving and arrange the fried fish, French fries, coleslaw, and tartar sauce on a platter.
