Combine 1 cup fish coating with 2/3 cup cold water + 2 TBSP, mix until smooth. Allow batter to sit for 5 minutes to hydrate. Batter should just coat the back of a spoon. If batter becomes too thick add additional water 1 tablespoon at a time.
Place 1/2 cup of fish coating in a shallow dish.
Dredge pieces of fish in the dry fish coating, then dip into the prepared batter.
Pan fry or deep fry at 350-375F for 3-4 minutes until the batter is crispy and the fish is cooked through.
Remove cooked fish pieces from oil and drain on paper towels.
