Ingredients

  • ½ Cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ Cup cornstarch
  • ½ Teaspoon garlic
  • ½ Teaspoon onion
  • ½ Teaspoon paprika
  • ½ Teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ Teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ Teaspoon salt
  • ¼ Teaspoon black powder
  • 1 Cup club soda or beer
  • 1½ Pounds fish
  • peanut or canola oil

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Measure and whisk the dry ingredients together.
  2. Add most of the club soda. Whisk the batter just a few times. Test the thickness. It should be fluid but thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Add more soda, if needed. Or less soda or beer, if it is getting too thin. If it gets too thin, thicken it with a bit more flour.
  3. Dip the thawed fillets in the batter. Let the excess drip off for a few seconds. Carefully place the fillet in very hot oil, fry until it is golden brown on the first side.
  4. Flip and fry the other side until golden brown.
