Preparation Instructions
- 1
Prepare the Fish
Clean the boneless fish fillets and pat them dry with paper towels. Cut into desired serving sizes, if needed.
- 2
Make the Batter
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, black pepper, salt, garlic powder, and chili powder. Gradually add water to the mixture, whisking until a smooth batter forms. The batter should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan, heat oil over medium-high heat. The oil is ready for frying when a small amount of batter dropped into the oil sizzles immediately.
- 4
Coat the Fish
Dip each fish fillet into the batter, ensuring both sides are thoroughly coated.
- 5
Fry the Fish
Carefully place the battered fish fillets into the hot oil. Fry in batches to prevent overcrowding the pan. Fry until golden brown and crispy, approximately 3-4 minutes per side.
- 6
Drain Excess Oil
Once cooked, remove the fish fillets from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- 7
Serve
Serve the pepper fish hot, garnished with additional black pepper if desired. Enjoy!
