Ingredients

• 4 pieces white fish fillets
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
• 2 cups vegetable oil
• 1 cup cold sparkling water

Directions

Step 1

Pat the white fish fillets dry with paper towels and place them on a plate.

Step 2

Drizzle the fillets with fresh lemon juice and season with ground black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and ground cayenne pepper.

Step 4

Gradually add the cold sparkling water to the dry ingredients, whisking continuously until you achieve a smooth batter.

Step 5

In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Ensure the oil reaches 350°F (175°C) using a kitchen thermometer for accurate results.

Step 6

Dip each seasoned fish fillet into the batter, making sure it is coated evenly.

Step 7

Carefully lower the battered fillets into the hot oil, frying in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.

Step 8

Fry each side for about 3 to 4 minutes, or until the fish is golden brown and crispy.

Step 9

Once cooked, remove the fillets from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 10

Serve immediately with your choice of side salad or steamed vegetables.
