Instruction
- To prepare the fish batter: Combine dry ingredients.
- Add the egg and soda water & whisk together just until the liquid is incorporated. Small lumps in the batter are not a problem.
- Cut the fish into about 8 pieces. Season the fish with salt & pepper on both sides.
- Dredge the fish pieces in additional rice flour to help the batter stick to the fillets. Dip the pieces into the batter & carefully drop them into deep fryer filled with oil & preheated to 375* F.
- Fry a few minutes, about 5 is fine depending on the thickness of the fillets; just until golden brown on both sides. Drain on a wire rack placed over a cookie sheet. Serve immediately.
- If you have to fry the fish in more than one batch at a time, hold the fish in a 200* F oven on the draining rack to provide air circulation all the way around the fried fish pieces to prevent from getting soggy.
- LIME & CAPER TARTER SAUCE Stir ingredients together until blended well. Let sit in fridge for an hour or more to let the flavor meld before serving with the fish.
