- 125 g Self-Raising Flour 1 Cup (Plus extra to dust the fish)
- 3 tablespoon Cornflour
- 2 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt Plus extra to season the fish
- 175-200 ml Cold Water ¾ Cup - ¾ Cup + 2 tablespoon

Instructions
- Dry the fish fillets well with kitchen paper.
- Pre-heat the oil for frying to 170°C or 340°F.
- Place the self-raising flour, cornflour, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl and give it a whisk.
- Whisk in the cold water, the colder the better, to form a batter.
- Season the fish fillets with salt and dust them with flour, then dip them into the batter to get a nice, even coating.
- Add the fish to the hot oil, lowering it into the oil slowly to allow it to form a seal and prevent it from sticking to the basket.Fry for 4-5 minutes or until golden and very crispy, then drain on kitchen paper to absorb any excess oil.
- Sprinkle with salt and vinegar and get stuck in!
