Oil for deep frying

Salt to taste

3. Season the Fish

Pat the fish fillets dry.

Lightly coat each fillet in plain flour (helps batter stick).
4. Make the Batter

Mix flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.

The batter should be thick enough to coat the fish.
5. Fry the Fish

Heat oil to 180°C (350°F).

Dip each fillet in batter, then carefully lower into the hot oil.

Fry until golden and crispy (about 4–5 minutes per side).

Serve on newspaper-style paper for that authentic street food feel (just for fun, not actual newspaper 😅).
