Ingredients

grams of fresh fish fillet. Preferably river sole or sea bass, but any other white flesh fish would work: 500

tablespoon of white flour, known as maida in the local language: 1

a handful of finely chopped parsley

some oil for deep frying the coated fish

tablespoon of baking powder: 1

egg for coating: 1

cup of maida or white flour: 1

cup of soda water: 1

salt and pepper to season the dish and add some taste

How To Make Batter Fish

  • Take the fish out, and clean it under running water.
  • Pat the fish dry and roll it in parsley and flour. Once the coating has been applied, keep the fish aside.
  • Move on to making the batter now, and get a clean bowl.
  • Whisk together baking powder, soda water, egg, seasoning and the flour in the bowl and create a smooth consistency.
  • Get a deep pan out and heat the oil inside it.
  • Now that the oil has come to a boil inside the pan, gently put each piece of fish inside the batter and coat them well. Once the coating has been done, put the fish inside the pan.
  • Fry the fish on medium heat until they become golden brown on both side. Take the fish out once it becomes golden brown and crispy, and put on a tray.
  • Serve with chips, a wedge of lemon and some vinegar and salt.

Trivia

Fish are not able to feel pain on their body, because they lack the brain structure that is necessary for feeling pain. Thus, a fish may have never experienced pain in life.
