Ingredients
- 1 pound firm white fish fillets (such as cod or haddock), cut into 2-inch pieces
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 cup club soda (chilled)
- 4 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
- 1 fresh lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Pat dry the fish pieces with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
Step 2
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and paprika.
Step 3
Gradually add the chilled club soda to the dry mixture, whisking continuously until you achieve a smooth batter. The batter should be slightly thick but still pourable.
Step 4
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Step 5
Dip each piece of fish into the batter, ensuring it is completely coated.
Step 6
Carefully place the battered fish pieces into the hot oil without overcrowding the pan.
Step 7
Fry the fish in batches for about 3-4 minutes per side or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Step 8
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried fish to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Step 9
Serve the crispy fish pieces immediately with fresh lemon wedges on the side for a zesty twist. Enjoy!
