Ingredients
- 4 pieces cod or haddock fillets
- 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 cup rice flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1.5 cups club soda
- 1 slices lemon (optional)
- 4 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
Directions
Step 1
Pat the fish fillets dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture. This helps the batter adhere better.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, rice flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well-mixed.
Step 3
Gradually pour in the club soda while whisking the mixture continuously. Mix until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. The consistency should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Step 4
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 375°F (190°C).
Step 5
Dip each fish fillet into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow any excess batter to drip off.
Step 6
Carefully place the battered fish into the hot oil. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding, which can lower the oil temperature.
Step 7
Cook each fillet for 4-5 minutes or until the batter is golden brown and the fish is cooked through.
Step 8
Use a slotted spoon to remove the fish from the oil, draining the excess oil on a plate lined with paper towels.
Step 9
Serve immediately with lemon slices, if desired, or your favorite dipping sauce.
