Cooking Instructions
- 1
Prepare the Batter
In a mixing bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually whisk in cold beer or sparkling water until the batter is smooth.

Heat the Oil
In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Coat and Fry the Fish
Dip each fish fillet into the batter, allowing excess to drip off. Carefully place the battered fillets into the hot oil, frying for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.
