This is really a great recipe for a lite breaded fish fry.
25 large crappie filets and cut into 1 - 2" pieces.
Place in a bowl of ice water and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
[ul] [li]Store bought Tempura Fish Batter, follow mixing directions.
[li]Add 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder [li]Add salt and ground black pepper to taste [li]Add ice cold water and mix (follow mixing directions)
Mix should be thick enough to stick, but thin enough to easily drip.
[li]Add 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce (optional) and mix.
[li]Juice from 1/4 squeezed lemon (optional) and mix.
[/li][/ul]Remove cut fish from ice cold water and dab with paper towel to remove excess water.
Dip in batter, let excess drip off and place in deep fryer or frying pan with enough hot oil to cover fish pieces completely.
Remove when lightly brown (about 3 minutes)
NOTE: it is very important to use ice cold water. This helps the thin batter stick!!!!!
ENJOY!
