CAPTAIN D'S BATTER DIPPED FISH

Steps:

• Preheat the oil to 350 degrees in either a deep fryer or a medium sized saucepan. In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and cayenne pepper. Whisk in the water. The batter will get a little foamy, continue to mix. Pat the fish dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Coat the fish in the batter, working to fully coat each fillet. Deep-fry the fish for 3 to 4 minutes. You want to cook the fish until it is golden brown. If you fry multiple pieces at once you may want to separate the pieces when cooking. Drain fish on a wire rack.

Steps:

• Heat 3" of oil in a deep fryer or Dutch oven to 350 F.
• In a large bowl add the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt and cayenne. Whisk to combine.
• Slowly whisk in the water. You want a pancake-like batter. If it's too thick add a bit (a very small bit!) more water and whisk.
• Rinse and pat the fish dry. I prefer to cut mine into bite-sized pieces.
• Working in batches, add the fish to the batter and turn to coat completely. Transfer to the oil and deep fry 3-4 minutes, turning once, until golden brown. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate. If desired, sprinkle the fish with salt.
