Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces White fish fillets (such as cod or haddock)
- 150 grams All-purpose flour
- 30 grams Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 250 milliliters Sparkling water (cold)
- 1 Lemon (cut into wedges)
- 1 liter Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
Begin by patting the fish fillets dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
In a large bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well to ensure that all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
Gradually add the cold sparkling water to the dry ingredients, whisking continuously until a smooth batter forms. The consistency should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep-fryer or large, deep pan to 180°C (350°F). Ensure there is enough oil to submerge the fish fillets completely.
Dredge each fish fillet in a small amount of extra flour until lightly coated, shaking off any excess. This will help the batter adhere to the fish.
Dip each floured fish fillet into the batter, ensuring it is completely covered.
Gently place the battered fish fillets into the hot oil one at a time to avoid overcrowding. Fry them in batches if necessary.
Cook each fillet for about 4-5 minutes or until the batter is golden brown and crispy. Make sure to turn the fillets midway so they cook evenly on both sides.
Use a slotted spoon or tongs to remove the fish from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the soy-free battered fish immediately while hot, with lemon wedges on the side.
