Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound white fish fillets (such as cod or haddock)
- 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup sparkling water (cold)
- 4 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
- 1 optional lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Begin by cutting the white fish fillets into 2-inch pieces. Pat the fish pieces dry with paper towels to ensure the batter sticks well.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Mix well to make the dry batter mixture.
In another small bowl, beat the egg thoroughly. Add the cold sparkling water to the egg and gently mix to combine.
Pour the egg and sparkling water mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring until you have a smooth, slightly thick batter without any lumps.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep frying pan or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. The oil should reach a temperature of about 350°F (175°C) for frying.
Once the oil is hot, carefully dip each piece of fish into the batter, allowing any excess batter to drip off. Gently place the battered fish pieces into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
Fry the fish pieces for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon or tongs to carefully remove the fried fish from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Repeat the frying process with the remaining fish pieces.
Serve the crispy fried fish pieces hot with lemon wedges on the side, if desired.
