Fried Fish Ingredients
Method
Fried Fish Directions
- 1
Prepare the Batter
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Gradually whisk in the cold water until the batter is smooth and well combined.
- 2
Heat the Oil
In a deep skillet or heavy-bottomed pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- 3
Coat the Fish
While the oil is heating, pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels. Dip each fillet into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off.
- 4
Fry the Fish
Carefully place the battered fish fillets into the hot oil, working in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the fish with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
