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 your oil to 350°F in a deep fryer or medium-sized saucepan.
- In a medium bowl, mix the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and cayenne pepper. Whisk in the water until the batter becomes slightly foamy.
- Pat the fish dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture. Dip each fish fillet into the batter, ensuring they are fully coated.
- Deep-fry the fish fillets for 3 to 4 minutes until they turn golden brown. If frying multiple pieces at once, be sure to separate them to avoid sticking.
- Once cooked, let the fish drain on a wire rack.
