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
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- Gradually pour in the sparkling water while whisking until a smooth batter forms.
- 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.
- 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).
- 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.
- Remove the fried fish from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve the Unbelievable Fish Batter with your favorite dipping sauce, alongside some freshly cut lemon wedges.
- Enjoy your crispy and delicious fried fish!
