How to Make Batter-Dipped Fried Fish
Step 1: Prepare the Fish
Start by preparing your fish fillets. Pat them dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. This will help the batter adhere better and prevent oil splattering during frying. Drizzle the fish with a little lemon juice and season both sides with salt and pepper.
Next, lightly dust the fish fillets with flour. This step helps the batter stick to the fish and ensures that crispy texture we all love. Set the floured fillets aside while you prepare the batter.
