Preparation and Cooking

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 a smooth batter forms. Let it rest for 15 minutes.

Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- 3
Coat the Fish
Dip each fish fillet into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated.

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 from the oil and drain on paper towels.

Prepare the Fries
While the fish is frying, you can prepare fries. Cut potatoes into fries and soak them in water for 30 minutes. Drain, pat dry, and fry in the same hot oil until golden brown and crispy.
