CRUNCHY BATTER FRIED FISH (NO BEER)

Steps:

• Mix together 1 cup flour, 1/4 cup cornstarch, baking powder and salt in a bowl.
• Stir in enough club soda to make a batter about the consistency of thin pancake batter. You don't want it too thick, just thick enough to nicely coat a spoon.
• Season the batter to taste if desired with seasoning of your choice. I suggest Old Bay, Lemon Pepper seasoning, or seasoned salt. set aside.
• In another bowl, mix together remaining 1/4 cup flour and 1/4 cup cornstarch.
• Heat oil in a deep pan to 375°F Use a candy thermometer if you need to. Oil in pan should be about 3" to 4" deep.
• Cut fish into portion sizes and remove any pin bones, and pat dry.
• Dredge the fish in the dry flour/cornstarch mixture. Shake off any excess.This allows the batter to stick to the fish.
• Dip dredged fish into batter allowing any excess to drip off before carefully adding the fish to the hot oil.
• Cook the fish one or two pieces at a time until golden brown.
• Drain on paper towels or better yet, on a cake cooling rack set up over paper towels.
• Serve while hot.
