How to Make Battered Fish
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper.
- Gradually add 1 cup ice water to the dry ingredients, whisking constantly until a smooth batter forms. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.
- Dip your fish or chicken filets (about 1 pound) into the batter, ensuring they are fully coated.
- Carefully place the battered fish into a preheated deep fryer or large skillet with at least 2 inches of hot oil (350°F/175°C).
- Fry the fish for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
- Remove the fish from the oil and place it on a wire rack to drain excess oil.
- Serve immediately with your favorite sides like tartar sauce, lemon wedges, and fries!
