Ingredients

  • 4-6 white fish fillets (cod, haddock, or tilapia)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup cold water (or club soda for extra crispiness)
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

  • Prepare the Fish: Pat the fish fillets dry to remove excess moisture.
  • Make the Batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. In a separate bowl, beat the egg and add it to the dry ingredients. Gradually add cold water (or club soda) while whisking until the batter is smooth.
  • Fry the Fish: Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pan to 350°F (175°C). Dip each fish fillet into the batter, coating it thoroughly, then fry 2-3 fillets at a time. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
  • Drain and Serve: Remove the fish from the oil and place on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve immediately with dipping sauces like tartar sauce or lemon wedges.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, substitute cold water with club soda.
  • To make the batter spicier, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder.
  • If you're looking for a vegetarian option, use the batter on vegetables like zucchini or cauliflower.
  • For storage, keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for the best texture.
