Here's my take on a classic battered fish with my twist. It's my spicy battered fish with salad instead of chips.
But the choice is yours serve with chips and treat yourself to a spicy Fish and Chips.

Steps

20 minutes

1

Prepare the fish by marinating them in the spices. Cover and leave aside while you prepare the batter.
2

In a mixing bowl add the dry batter ingredients. Add salt and whisk together.
3

Make a well in the middle start by adding the liquid. Using a hand whisk or a fork mix to form a thick batter.
4

Leave the batter to rest for 5 minutes while you get your oil warming up for frying.
5

Once the oil is hot enough, you can start frying. The oil has to be quite hot at 190 C.
6

Before you do that I suggest you prepare a plate with kitchen paper ready to receive the fried fish.
7

Dip the marinated fish pieces one at a time, into batter to evenly coat and deep-fry for 3-4 minutes or until crisp and golden.
8

Transfer to a plate with paper towel. Repeat with remaining fish pieces, if frying lots of fish I recommend reheating the oil between batches.
9

Enjoy either with chucky chips, potato wedges or salad. And if like me dip in some chilli sauce.
