Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup cold sparkling water
  • 1 pound white fish fillets (such as cod or haddock)
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Directions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  2. Gradually pour in the sparkling water while whisking until a smooth batter forms.
  3. Place the fish fillets in the batter, making sure they are coated evenly. Let them sit in the batter for 5 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  4. In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat enough vegetable oil to fully submerge the fish fillets. Heat the oil to 375°F (190°C).
  5. Using tongs, carefully place the battered fish fillets into the hot oil. Fry them for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
  6. Remove the fried fish from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  7. Serve the Unbelievable Fish Batter with your favorite dipping sauce, alongside some freshly cut lemon wedges.
  8. Enjoy your crispy and delicious fried fish!

Interesting Facts

  • The secret to a light and crispy fish batter is using cold sparkling water instead of regular water.
  • Coating the fish with the batter and letting it sit for a few minutes helps the flavors to penetrate the fish and creates a better texture.
  • To achieve a golden brown and crispy exterior, make sure the oil is hot enough before adding the fish fillets.
