Notes
For an extra crispy texture, adding a little vodka to the batter can work wonders! Overmixing the batter can lead to a tough texture; mix just until combined. Make sure the oil is at the right temperature for optimal frying—use a thermometer for accuracy. You can also store the batter in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; just give it a stir before using. Enjoy your crispy fish with a side of homemade tartar sauce and a squeeze of lemon!
