3 cups soybean oil 1 egg 2 pounds fresh cod 2 teaspoons granulated sugar 1 1/3 cup self rising flour 1 cup water 2 teaspoons salt Heat the oil in a deep pan to 400 degrees. Cut the fish into approximately 7x2 inch wedges. With a miser, blend the flour, water, egg, sugar, and salt. Dip eat fillet into the batter, coating generously, and quickly drop into the oil. Fry each fillet until golden brown, about 5 mintues. Remove from the oil and place on paper towels or a metal rack to drain. To test oil, place a drop of batter inside. If it turns golden brown within five minutes, the oil is hot enough.
