Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F or the Warm setting.

Thoroughly dry fish and sprinkle evenly with 1 teaspoon salt. Set aside. 

For the batter, in a large bowl mix together the 00 flour, rice flour, salt, pepper, and baking powder.

Add the eggs, beer, sparkling water and vodka to the dry ingredients and mix until well incorporated. 

For the dredge, on a large plate, add an additional cup of 00 flour and 2 teaspoons of kosher salt. Mix to combine. 

Coat each fish in the flour and then in the batter, let some of the batter drip off so it is not too thick. Set on a plate. 

Add 4 cups vegetable oil into a large Dutch oven or pot. Place the deep fry thermometer on the side of the pot. Heat oil over medium heat to 350 degrees. 

Once oil comes to temperature, add two fish at a time into the oil. Cook for three minutes on each side. 

 Place the fried fish on a sheet tray with a wire rack and place in the warm oven. 

Repeat until all fish are cooked.
