fish in batter
serves one
1 coley fillet
salt + black pepper
75g plain flour, plus some for dusting
1 tsp baking powder
a good pinch of salt
about 100-125ml ice-cold water (you can use sparkling water or soda water if you want)
about 1.5 litres of sunflower oil
Mix the flour, baking powder and salt together in a bowl. Whisk in the water until you have a thick, smooth batter. Heat the oil to 185C (I'd definitely recommend using a thermometer here). Season the fish fillet, dust with flour and dip into the batter, making sure it is evenly coated. Fry for approximately 4-6 minutes, until wonderfully golden. Drain on kitchen paper.
