Fried Fish New Orleans
Ingredients:
2 Pounds Red Snapper cut 1 1/2"
2 Eggs beaten
3/4 Cup Water lukewarm (110 to 115
3/4 Cup Flour all purpose
1/4 Cup Cornstarch dissolved in, 1/4 c. orange juice
1/4 Teaspoon Baking Powder plus
Directions:
1. Place the fish and Tabasco sauce in a stainless-steel bowl.

2. Let marinate for 20 minutes. Mix the batter by whipping the eggs, adding the water.

3. Blend the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt and pepper together in a dry bowl, using a fork.

4. Gently stir this into the egg/water mixture. Do not try to get out all the small lumps.

5. It will not matter. Do not overmix. Heat 4 cups of peanut oil to 375 to 400 degrees.

6. Dip the marinated fish squares into the batter, then deep-fry until light brown, about 4 minutes.
