Ingredients
Here’s what you need to whip up this deliciousness:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cornmeal
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup cold water
- 1 teaspoon paprika (for that extra kick!)
- Your choice of fish (cod, tilapia, and catfish work great)
- Oil for frying
Instructions
Let’s get cookin’!
- Start by mixing the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika in a bowl. This is where all that good flavor starts to come in!
- Gradually add in the cold water while whisking. You want the batter to be nice and smooth, but not too runny. Adjust the consistency with more flour or water as needed.
- Get that oil heatin’ in a deep pan – around 375°F is perfect for frying. You want it nice and hot!
- While the oil is heating, prepare your fish. Make sure it’s cut into nice fillets. Pat ‘em dry with a paper towel so that the batter sticks better.
- Once your oil is ready, dip each fish fillet into the batter, letting any excess drip off. Then, carefully place it in the oil, but don’t overcrowd the pan!
- Fry each piece for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they’re golden brown and crispy. If they start to float, you know they’re cooking up good!
- When done, take ’em out and let them drain on some paper towels to soak up that extra oil.
- Serve it up hot with your favorite dipping sauce – maybe some tartar or a squeeze of lemon. Enjoy your crispy, golden goodness!
