  • Add Liquid: Slowly whisk in cold water or club soda to the dry ingredients. The coldness and carbonation help the batter puff up when fried, creating that iconic crunch.
  • Optional Egg: For a slightly richer batter, whisk in a beaten egg before adding liquid.
  • Coat and Fry: Dip your seafood pieces into the batter, then immediately fry them in hot oil (around 350°F/175°C) until golden brown and crisp. Avoid overcrowding the pan to keep the temperature steady.
  • Drain and Serve: Place the fried seafood on paper towels to remove excess oil and serve hot with tartar sauce or lemon wedges.

    • Tips for Best Results

    • Use fresh seafood for the best flavor and texture.
    • Keep batter cold for maximum crispiness.
    • Don’t overmix the batter — a few lumps are fine.
    • Fry in small batches to maintain oil temperature.
