Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/3 cup sparkling water
  • 1 pound of white fish cut into 1 “strips
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3 litres vegetable oil
  • Propane deep fryer

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the fish by cutting it into 1" strips, patting dry with paper towel and dusting each side with salt.
  • Heat the oil to 350 degrees using a deep fryer. We like to use a propane deep fryer because it can be used outside and while camping.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine the batter ingredients and allow it to rest for ten minutes. The sparkling water is what creates the light, fluffy texture of the coating.
  • Dip the fish in the batter, coating it completely and gently place it into the hot oil.
  • Allow the fish to cook for about 2 minutes per side, rolling the fish half way through cooking so that both sides are a nice golden brown color. Each piece of fish will take about 5 minutes to cook and will need to be cooked in batches, depending on how big your deep fryer is.
  • Remove the fish from the fryer and place it on paper towel to soak up any excess oil.
