Fish Bites

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fish

    Cut the red snapper fillets into bite-sized pieces. Pat them dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Make the Batter

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

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

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

  4. 4

    Fry the Fish Bites

    Dip each piece of fish into the batter, allowing excess to drip off. Carefully place the battered fish into the hot oil and fry in batches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the fish bites hot with fries on the side, and your choice of dipping sauce.
