Ingredients

1 1/2 Lbs Cod (or Haddock)
1 Cup All-Purpose Flour
1/4 Cup Cornstarch
1 Tsp Baking Powder
1 Tsp Paprika
1/2 Tsp Garlic Powder
1/2 Tsp Onion Powder
1/2 Tsp Tumeric
1/2 Tsp Salt
1/4 Tsp Black Pepper
1 Cup Sparkling Water (or Beer)
Vegetable Oil - For Frying
Tartar Sauce

Directions

Pat the fish pieces dry with paper towels and cut into approximately 1½-inch chunks.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, turmeric, salt and black pepper.
Gradually whisk in the cold sparkling water or beer until a smooth, slightly thick batter forms.
Heat approximately 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C).
Working in small batches, dip the fish pieces into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off.
Carefully lower the battered fish into the hot oil and fry for approximately 4–5 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown, crispy and cooked through. The fish should reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain.
Prepare the garlic dipping sauce by combining mayonnaise, sour cream, minced garlic, lemon juice and chopped parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Arrange the crispy kibbeling on a serving platter, sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve immediately with lemon wedges and garlic dipping sauce.
