Ingredients
- 600 g White fish fillets
- 1 cup self raising flour (or 1 cup plain flour and 1 tsp baking powder)
- 1 cup soda water
- salt and pepper to season
- olive oil for frying
Instructions
- Whisk together flour and soda water in a medium sized bowl.
- Pat fish dry with a paper towel and. Cut into smaller bite sized pieces if preferred.
- Heat a shallow layer of oil in a large pan over a medium to high heat. Test the oil is hot enough by adding a small dollop of batter to the pan. It should sizzle straight away.
- Dip fish fillets in the batter, allow excess batter to drip off then place into the pan. Do not overcrowd the pan. Cook in smaller batches if need be.
- Cook the fish for approximately 2-3 minutes until golden and crisp then flip. Cook the other side for 2-3 minutes until crisp then remove from the pan and place on a cooling rack over a paper towel.
- Serve straight away with a wedge of lemon and some tartare sauce or aioli. Chuck some oven baked wedges or chips on the side plus a salad to make homemade 'fish and chips'.
