Instructions
- Heat about 8 cups of vegetable oil to 350°F in a deep fryer or heavy pot.
- To make the batter, combine the flour, cornstarch, sugar, salt, baking powder, baking soda, onion salt, paprika, and ground black pepper in a mixing bowl. Stir to combine.
- Add the club soda to the dry ingredients and continue to stir as the batter foams.
- Coat the fish pieces with the batter and drop them into the hot oil.
- Fry for 2 to 3 minutes until the batter is golden and the fish pieces begin to float to the top of the oil.
- Drain the fish on a wire rack.
Notes
- Temperature Control is Critical: Maintain oil at exactly 350°F. Too hot, and the batter will burn before the fish cooks; too cool, and the fish will absorb oil, becoming greasy.
- The "Dip and Lift" Technique: When placing battered fish in hot oil, dip it and lift it back out slightly a few times in quick succession. This allows the outer layer of the batter to set slightly, preventing the batter from sliding off or expanding too dramatically.
- Carbonation Timing: Add the club soda only when you're ready to fry. The carbonation creates a light texture, and it diminishes quickly once it is opened and mixed into the batter.
