steps
- 1.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the sparkling water and beaten egg. Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring until you achieve a smooth batter.
- 3.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 375°F (190°C).

Dip the fish strips into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off, then carefully place them in the hot oil. Fry in batches for about 3-4 minutes or until the coating turns golden brown and crispy. Avoid crowding the fryer to maintain the temperature.

Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked fish to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
