Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (about 4-6 oz each) White fish fillets (cod, haddock, or pollock)
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.75 cups Cold sparkling water
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 2 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 2 pieces Soft sandwich buns
- 2 slices American cheese slices
- 4 tablespoons Tartar sauce
- 0.25 cups Lettuce (optional, shredded)
Instructions
Pat the white fish fillets dry with paper towels. Lightly season with half of the salt and pepper. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and the remaining salt. Gradually whisk in the cold sparkling water until the batter is smooth and slightly thick but not overly runny.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.
Dip each fish fillet into the batter, making sure it's fully coated. Allow any excess batter to drip off.
Carefully lower the fillets into the hot oil. Fry for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish is golden brown and cooked through. Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Transfer the fried fish to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Lightly toast the sandwich buns in a dry skillet or toaster until just warm and slightly golden.
To assemble, spread 2 tablespoons of tartar sauce on the bottom half of each bun. Place a slice of American cheese on top of the sauce.
Layer the fried fish fillet on top of the cheese. If desired, add shredded lettuce for a fresh crunch.
Top with the other half of the bun. Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade Filet O Fish Sammie!
