Ingredients

• 500 grams Ocean perch fillets
• 120 grams All-purpose flour
• 30 grams Cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 2 large Eggs
• 200 milliliters Milk
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 500 milliliters Vegetable oil (for frying)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the ocean perch fillets under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Chop the fillets into small, bite-sized pieces and set aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and mix in the milk. Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, whisking continuously until you have a smooth batter.

Step 4

Stir in the chopped ocean perch pieces, lemon zest, and chopped fresh parsley. Mix until the fish is evenly coated in the batter.

Step 5

In a deep skillet or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches a temperature of 175°C (350°F). Test the oil by dropping a small dollop of batter into it; it should sizzle and turn golden brown in about a minute.

Step 6

Using a spoon, carefully drop dollops of the batter (about 1-2 tablespoons each) into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding.

Step 7

Fry the fritters for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 8

Serve the Ocean Perch Fritters immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as tartar sauce, aioli, or a spicy sriracha mayo.
