Method
Preparation Steps
- 1
Prepare the Batter
In a large bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Gradually whisk in the cold sparkling water until the batter is smooth and thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
- 2
Prepare the Potatoes
Peel and cut the potatoes into thick strips to make fries. Soak them in cold water for about 30 minutes to remove excess starch, then drain and pat dry.
- 3
Fry the Potatoes
In a deep pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry the potato strips in batches for about 5-7 minutes until golden and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Season with salt.
- 4
Fry the Fish
Dip each fish fillet into the batter, allowing excess to drip off. Carefully place the battered fish into the hot oil and fry for about 4-6 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Serve
Serve the fish hot with the fries on the side. Optional: Serve with tartar sauce and lemon wedges.
