Preparation

Step 1

Combine the flour and baking powder in a mixing bowl and season with salt and pepper. Beat egg yolks with a small amount of the water in a small bowl (a 2 cup glass measuring pitcher works great for this).
Whisk the egg mixture a little at a time into the flour and add additional water, as necessary to achieve a smooth consistency for the batter.

Heat the canola oil in a deep fryer to 375 degrees or as instructed in the manufacturer's instructions for potatoes and fish or similar foods.


Fry potatoes in deep fryer until golden brown and drain on paper towels. Season with salt.

Dip tilapia into batter, deep fry until golden brown and transfer to paper towels to drain.

Serve with malt vinegar or your choice of condiments.
