Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound firm white fish fillets (such as cod or haddock), cut into 2-inch pieces
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 cup club soda (chilled)
- 4 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
- 1 fresh lemon wedges
Instructions
Pat dry the fish pieces with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and paprika.
Gradually add the chilled club soda to the dry mixture, whisking continuously until you achieve a smooth batter. The batter should be slightly thick but still pourable.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Dip each piece of fish into the batter, ensuring it is completely coated.
Carefully place the battered fish pieces into the hot oil without overcrowding the pan.
Fry the fish in batches for about 3-4 minutes per side or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried fish to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve the crispy fish pieces immediately with fresh lemon wedges on the side for a zesty twist. Enjoy!
