Ingredients
- vegetable oil for frying
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 2 pounds cod, hake, or other white fish
Instructions
- Preheat the oil to 350°F in a deep fryer or a medium-sized saucepan.
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and cayenne pepper. Whisk in the water. The batter will get a little foamy. Continue to mix.
- Pat the fish dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Dip the fish in the batter to fully coat each fillet.
- Deep-fry the fillets for 3 to 4 minutes until they are golden brown. If you choose to fry multiple pieces at once, you may want to separate the pieces when cooking.
- When the fish has finished cooking, let it drain on a wire rack.
Notes
- For restaurant-quality results, try holding the fish halfway in the oil for a few seconds before fully submerging it. This technique helps set the batter and prevents it from sticking to the fryer basket. Always monitor your oil temperature between batches to maintain consistent results.
