Ingredients
- 4 pieces Hake fillets
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 cup Cornstarch
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 cup Sparkling water
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 2 cups Vegetable oil
- 1 whole Lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Begin by patting the hake fillets dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Step 2
In a bowl, combine cornstarch, all-purpose flour, and baking powder. Mix well.
Step 3
Gradually add the sparkling water and apple cider vinegar to the flour mixture, whisking continuously until you have a smooth, lump-free batter. The batter should have a slightly thick consistency, similar to pancake batter.
Step 4
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep, wide pan over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). To test, drop a small amount of batter into the oil; if it sizzles and floats, the oil is ready.
Step 5
Dip each hake fillet into the batter, ensuring it is completely covered. Let any excess batter drip off before carefully placing the fillet into the hot oil.
Step 6
Fry the fillets in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Cook each side for about 3-4 minutes or until the batter is golden brown and the fish is cooked through.
Step 7
Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried hake from the oil and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
Step 8
Serve the dairy-free crispy fried hake hot, garnished with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the fish.
