Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams firm white fish fillets
- 100 grams gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 50 grams cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 200 ml soda water
- 500 ml vegetable oil
- 1 optional lemon wedges
Instructions
Cut the fish fillets into bite-sized pieces, about 1.5 inches each.
In a large bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Gradually add the soda water into the dry mixture, whisking until you reach a smooth batter. It should be the consistency of thin pancake batter. If it is too thick, add a little more soda water.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium-high heat to about 350°F (175°C). Ensure there's enough oil to fully submerge the fish bites.
Dip each piece of fish into the batter, allowing any excess batter to drip off, before gently placing it into the hot oil.
Fry the fish bites in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Cook each batch for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the fish bites from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve the Gluten-Free Crispy Fish Bites hot with optional lemon wedges and your favorite dipping sauce.
