Ingredients
- 4 pieces White fish fillets (such as cod or haddock)
- 150 grams All-purpose flour
- 30 grams Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 250 milliliters Sparkling water (cold)
- 1 Lemon (cut into wedges)
- 1 liter Vegetable oil (for frying)
Directions
Step 1
Begin by patting the fish fillets dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well to ensure that all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
Step 3
Gradually add the cold sparkling water to the dry ingredients, whisking continuously until a smooth batter forms. 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, deep pan to 180°C (350°F). Ensure there is enough oil to submerge the fish fillets completely.
Step 5
Dredge each fish fillet in a small amount of extra flour until lightly coated, shaking off any excess. This will help the batter adhere to the fish.
Step 6
Dip each floured fish fillet into the batter, ensuring it is completely covered.
Step 7
Gently place the battered fish fillets into the hot oil one at a time to avoid overcrowding. Fry them in batches if necessary.
Step 8
Cook each fillet for about 4-5 minutes or until the batter is golden brown and crispy. Make sure to turn the fillets midway so they cook evenly on both sides.
Step 9
Use a slotted spoon or tongs to remove the fish from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 10
Serve the soy-free battered fish immediately while hot, with lemon wedges on the side.
