Combine the flour, salt, baking powder and turmeric, then make a well in the dry ingredients. Whisk to a pourable, lump-free batter. Heat the oil to 180C, filling the pan to no more than a third full. Meanwhile, dust the fillets with flour and then dip the fish into the batter. Coat evenly, lift out and let the excess drip off.
