Crisp Battered Haddock

Name: Crisp Battered Haddock
Total time: 37 min
Yield: Serves 4
Cuisine: British
Ingredients: 4 thick-cut haddock fillets, about 170 g (6 oz) each, patted dry; seasoned flour (flour, salt and pepper), for dusting the fish, to taste; 225 g self-rising flour, 8 oz, divided roughly in half; 1 pinch salt; 300 ml water, cold, 10 fl oz; divided as 210 ml and 90 ml; vegetable oil, enough for deep frying, to taste

Thick haddock fillets in a deliberately lumpy self-rising flour batter, fried until noisily crisp. The uneven coating traps extra bubbles, so it shatters and crackles when you bite it.
