Method
Preparation

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

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.

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

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.
