This Batter Dipped Fish recipe offers a simple and reliable way to achieve a perfectly crispy, golden crust on tender white fish fillets. Using a light batter made from flour, baking powder, and cold water, the fish fries up crunchy on the outside while staying moist and flaky inside. Ideal for a quick weeknight meal or a satisfying appetizer, this method ensures deliciously irresistible crunch every time.

Ingredients

Scale

Fish

  • 1 pound white fish fillets, cut into serving pieces

Batter

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup cold water

Other

  • Oil for frying (enough for deep frying)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Fish: Cut the white fish fillets into serving-sized pieces. This ensures even cooking and easier handling during frying.
  2. Make the Batter: In a bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt thoroughly. Gradually add the cold water, stirring gently until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps to form the batter.
  3. Heat the Oil: Pour enough oil into a deep pan for frying and heat over medium heat until it reaches approximately 350°F (175°C). Proper oil temperature is key to achieving the crispy exterior.
  4. Batter the Fish: Dip each piece of fish into the batter, allowing any excess batter to drip off before frying. This prevents the batter from becoming too thick.
  5. Fry the Fish: Carefully place the battered fish pieces into the hot oil. Fry them for about 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally until they are golden brown and crispy all over.
  6. Drain Excess Oil: Remove the cooked fish from the oil and drain on paper towels to absorb any excess oil, keeping the crust crunchy.

Notes

  • Ensure oil is hot enough before frying; cold oil will result in soggy fish.
  • Use cold water for the batter to keep it light and crispy.
  • Do not overcrowd the frying pan to maintain oil temperature.
  • Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
  • White fish varieties such as cod, haddock, or tilapia work well for this recipe.
