Ingredients

• White fish fillets (e.g., cod or tilapia) - 300 grams
• All-purpose flour - 1/2 cup (60 grams)
• Cornstarch - 1/4 cup (30 grams)
• Egg - 1 large
• Milk - 1/4 cup (60 ml)
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Garlic powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1/2 teaspoon
• Vegetable oil (for frying) - 500 ml
• Lemon wedges - 2 (for serving)
• Tartar sauce - 4 tablespoons (for serving)

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
2. In another bowl, whisk together the egg and milk until well combined.
3. Dip each fish fillet into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off, then coat it in the flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
4. Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat until hot (about 180°C/350°F).
5. Carefully place the coated fish fillets in the hot oil, frying in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
6. Fry the fish for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
7. Remove the fish from the oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
8. Serve the fish hot with lemon wedges and tartar sauce on the side.
