Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Corn, grape seed or other neutral oil for deep-frying
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon cayenne, or to taste
1 teaspoon mild paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup flour
1 egg
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 pound thin fillets of a white fish like flounder or fluke, in 4-inch strips about 1 inch wide (almost like fish fingers)
1 lime, cut into wedges

Steps:

  • Put at least 1/2 inch oil in cast-iron skillet. Over medium-high heat, bring oil to 350 degrees. (A drop of batter will sizzle energetically but not violently at this temperature.)
  • Meanwhile combine ginger, cayenne, paprika, salt, pepper and flour in a bowl. Beat egg with lime juice and about 1/4 cup cold water; stir into mixture, and stir in as much water as necessary to achieve consistency of pancake batter. Stir in fish.
  • When oil is heated, gently slide a few pieces of fish into it; do not crowd. Fry, turning once, until fish is crisp and golden brown all over, about 5 minutes. Repeat with rest of fish as necessary. Drain on paper towels, and serve immediately with lime wedges.
