Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces firm white fish fillets
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup sparkling water
- 1 large egg
- 2 cups avocado oil
- 0.25 cup coconut aminos (optional for dipping)
Instructions
Rinse the fish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Cut into smaller pieces if desired for easier frying.
In a medium bowl, mix together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then whisk in the sparkling water until well combined.
Add the dry flour mixture to the egg and sparkling water. Stir until you achieve a smooth batter. The batter should be slightly thick but pourable.
Heat the avocado oil in a deep frying pan or pot over medium-high heat. The oil should be around 350°F (175°C) to 375°F (190°C) for frying.
Once the oil is hot, dip each fish piece into the batter, ensuring it's completely coated, then carefully place it into the hot oil.
Fry the fish in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the fish from the oil using a slotted spoon and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve immediately with coconut aminos or your choice of low-carb dipping sauce.
