How to:
- Combine the dry ingredients.

- Warm your oil to 180C.
- To test temperature without a thermometer drop a 1″ piece of bread in the oil, it should brown after 60 seconds.
- Season your fish fillets well, I use fish spice.
- Drench your fish in plain flour.
- Dip the fish in the batter and carefully place in the hot oil.
- Fry on both sides until golden brown.
- Serve as soon as possible.
