Note

Use firm white fish like cod, halibut, or mahi-mahi for the best texture.

Serve with lime wedges, cilantro, and your favorite hot sauce for extra flavor.

For a lighter version, you can bake the battered fish at 400ðF (200ðC) for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Ensure the oil is hot enough before adding the fish to prevent it from becoming greasy.
