Long John Silver’s Fish Batter (Copycat)

Long John Silver’s Fish Batter (Copycat)

Description:
A light and crispy batter that stays crunchy after frying — just like the one used at Long John Silver’s. The secret is a mix of dry ingredients and cold water that creates tiny bubbles, giving the coating that signature texture.

Ingredients (for about 1½ lbs of fish fillets or chicken tenders)
1 cup all-purpose flour

¼ cup cornstarch

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon sugar

¼ teaspoon paprika (optional, for slight color)

1 cup cold club soda or cold water (club soda gives extra crispiness)

For Frying:

Vegetable or canola oil (enough for deep frying, about 350°F / 175°C)
