📝 Instructions

8 steps
1

Pat the white fish fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

2

In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

3

Gradually whisk in the club soda to create a smooth batter. The consistency should be similar to pancake batter.

4

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

5

Dip each fillet in the batter, ensuring it is completely coated, then gently lower it into the hot oil.

6

Fry the fish for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or until the batter is golden brown and crispy, and the fish is cooked through.

7

Use a slotted spoon or tongs to carefully remove the fish from the oil and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

8

Serve the fried fish hot with lemon wedges on the side.
