Fish Mixture

Method

Preparing Fish Mixture

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fish

    In a mixing bowl, combine the white fish fillets, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and let it marinate for about 15 minutes.

Making the Batter

  1. 2

    Combine Dry Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and baking powder until well combined.

  2. 3

    Mix Wet Ingredients

    Add the beaten egg and cold water to the dry ingredients. Mix until you achieve a smooth batter.

Combining and Frying

  1. 4

    Mix Fish with Batter

    Fold the marinated fish mixture into the batter until well coated.

  2. 5

    Heat the Oil

    In a large frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches about 180°C (350°F).

  3. 6

    Fry Fritters

    Using a spoon, drop spoonfuls of the fish and batter mixture into the hot oil. Fry for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.

  4. 7

    Drain and Serve

    Once fried, remove the fritters with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your choice of dipping sauce.
