Ingredients
- 4 pieces white fish filets
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup sparkling water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 cups vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Pat the fish filets dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
Step 3
Slowly add the sparkling water to the dry ingredients, whisking until a smooth batter forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 4
Add the lemon juice to the batter and gently stir.
Step 5
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches around 350°F (175°C). You can test the readiness of the oil by dropping a small amount of batter into the oil. It should sizzle and rise to the surface.
Step 6
Dip each fish filet into the batter, ensuring it is well-coated, and carefully lower it into the hot oil.
Step 7
Fry the filets in batches to avoid overcrowding the skillet. Cook each side for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Step 8
Use a slotted spoon to remove the filets from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 9
Serve the crispy fried fish filets immediately with your choice of sides such as lemon wedges, a salad, or coleslaw.
