Instructions Details:
-
Prepare Fish: Start by dipping the moistened fish pieces lightly but evenly in the all-purpose flour. Ensure they are coated just right for a crispy texture.
-
-
Air Dry: After coating the fish, gently dust off any excess flour and let the pieces air dry on waxed paper for approximately 5 minutes. This step helps the coating adhere better during frying.
-
Prepare Batter: In a mixing bowl, whip together the pancake mix and club soda until you achieve a smooth consistency resembling buttermilk. The batter should be pourable but not too thin or too thick.
-
Add Flavor: Incorporate the onion powder and seasoned salt into the batter mixture. Beat them in thoroughly to ensure even distribution of flavor.
-
Coat in Batter: Dip the floured fish fillets into the prepared batter, ensuring they are fully coated. This step adds an extra layer of flavor and helps achieve that classic Arthur Treacher’s Fish texture.
-
Fry: Heat vegetable oil in a heavy saucepan to 425ยฐF (220ยฐC). Using a meat thermometer for accuracy, carefully drop the battered fish into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, approximately 4 minutes per side.
-
Finish in Oven: Once fried, transfer the fish pieces onto a cookie sheet and place them in a preheated 325ยฐF (165ยฐC) oven. This step ensures all pieces are heated through and maintains their crispiness.
