Prepare the Fish<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels. Lightly season them with salt and freshly ground black pepper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2. Mix the Dry Ingredients<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder until well combined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3. Prepare the Batter<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beat the egg in a separate bowl, then add it to the dry mixture. Gradually whisk in the cold water or club soda until the batter becomes smooth and slightly thick, enough to coat the back of a spoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>4. Fry the Fish<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 350\u00b0F (175\u00b0C).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dip each fish fillet into the batter, allowing the excess to drip off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Carefully place the fish into the hot oil and fry 2\u20133 fillets at a time for about 4\u20135 minutes per side, until the coating becomes golden brown and crispy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remove the fish and place on a rack or paper towels to drain excess oil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>5. Serve<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lightly sprinkle with salt while still hot. Serve immediately with lemon wedges and tartar sauce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Nutrition (Approximate per serving)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Calories: ~510 kcal<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Protein: ~38 g<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#x1f4a1; Serving Tip<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Serve this crispy fish with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>French fries<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Coleslaw<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lemon wedges<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tartar sauce<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">for a classic fish-and-chips style meal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This Batter-Dipped Fried Fish recipe creates perfectly crispy golden fish with a light, airy coating and tender flaky interior.
