Ingredients
- 4 pieces firm white fish fillets
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup sparkling water
- 1 large egg
- 2 cups avocado oil
- 0.25 cup coconut aminos (optional for dipping)
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the fish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Cut into smaller pieces if desired for easier frying.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, mix together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then whisk in the sparkling water until well combined.
Step 4
Add the dry flour mixture to the egg and sparkling water. Stir until you achieve a smooth batter. The batter should be slightly thick but pourable.
Step 5
Heat the avocado oil in a deep frying pan or pot over medium-high heat. The oil should be around 350°F (175°C) to 375°F (190°C) for frying.
Step 6
Once the oil is hot, dip each fish piece into the batter, ensuring it's completely coated, then carefully place it into the hot oil.
Step 7
Fry the fish in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
Step 8
Remove the fish from the oil using a slotted spoon and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 9
Serve immediately with coconut aminos or your choice of low-carb dipping sauce.
