Ingredients
1 kg firm white fish, sliced into 85 g pieces
2 cups flour
¼ cup cornflour
2 tsp sugar
2 tsp SIDS SALT & PEPPER
½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp onion salt
½ tsp paprika
500 g tonic water
Rice bran oil, for frying
Directions
If you are not using a fryer, heat up 8 cups of rice bran oil in a heavy pot until the temperature reaches 175°C.
Make the batter by combining flour, cornflour, sugar, salt, baking powder, baking soda, onion salt, paprika, SIDS SALT & PEPPER. Stir to combine all dry ingredients. Add tonic to dry ingredients. The batter will foam, continue to stir. Drop pieces of fish into the batter. Coat fish with batter, drop into hot oil. Fry fish for 2-3 minutes until the batter is golden and the fish pieces begin to float to the top of the oil. Drain fish on a wire rack.
Notes:
֍ To keep the batter from sticking to the bottom of the basket, gently lower fish and hold it for a few seconds to allow it to form up a crust before dropping it into the basket.
֍ You can swap the tonic for beer for a great flavour.
֍ Have a little batter leftover? Slice up some onion rings, and make onion rings.
