Preparation

Step 1

Heat 3 inches of the oil in a deep fryer to 375 degrees F. Alternatively, use a deep heavy skillet.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt and pepper. Combine soda water and egg and pour into the flour mixture. Whisk to a smooth batter. Spread the rice flour on a plate. Dredge the fish pieces in the rice flour and then dip them into the batter, letting the excess drip off.

Carefully lower the battered fish into the oil. Fry the fish for 4 to 5 minutes until crispy and brown. Remove the basket and drain the fish on paper towels; season lightly with salt.
