Prepare the Batter
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually whisk in the cold sparkling water until the batter is smooth and slightly thick.

Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). You can test if the oil is ready by dropping a small amount of batter into it; if it bubbles and rises to the surface, it's ready.

Batter the Fish
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels. Dip each fillet into the batter, coating it evenly.

Fry the Fish
Carefully place the battered fish fillets into the hot oil. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove the fish from the oil and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
