Ingredients:
- 4 white fish fillets (such as cod, haddock, or tilapia)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 cup cold sparkling water (or cold beer for extra crispness)
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
- Lemon wedges (for serving)
- Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Gradually add the cold sparkling water (or beer), stirring until the batter is smooth and thick, but not too heavy. Set aside.
- Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet or deep fryer over medium-high heat. The oil should be hot enough to fry, but not smoking (around 350°F or 175°C).
- Dip each fish fillet into the batter, coating it evenly. Carefully place the battered fish into the hot oil, cooking in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.
- Fry the fish for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels.
- Serve hot with lemon wedges and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
