How to Make Batter Dipped Fish

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons yellow mustard powder, and 1 teaspoon salt.
  2. Gradually whisk in 1 cup ice water and 1 large egg until a smooth batter forms. Stir in 1 tablespoon of sugar.
  3. Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet or deep fryer to 375°F (190°C). Use a thermometer to ensure accurate temperature.
  4. Cut the fish into 7x2-inch pieces. (Note: The type and amount of fish will depend on your preference and how many servings you need. This recipe works well with cod, haddock, or tilapia.)
  5. Dip each fish piece into the batter, ensuring it's fully coated.
  6. Carefully place the battered fish into the hot oil, working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
  7. Fry for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the fish is golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
  8. Remove the fish from the oil and place it on a wire rack or plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
  9. Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as tartar sauce, lemon wedges, and french fries.
