Method
Preparing the Fish
- 1
Make the Batter
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk them together until fully combined. Gradually add beer or sparkling water while whisking until you achieve a smooth batter.

Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the temperature by dropping a small amount of batter into the oil; if it sizzles, it’s ready.

Fry the Haddock
Dip each haddock fillet into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off, then carefully lower it into the hot oil. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
