Long John Silver's Batter Dipped Fish

2 pounds fresh cod fillets
3 cups soybean oil
1 cup self rising flour
1/3 cup dry mustard
1 cup water
1 egg
2 tsp granulated sugar
2 tsp salt

Sift together mustard and flour, heat oil to 400 degrees. Cut the fish into approximately seven 2 inch wedges. With a mixer, blend the flour mixture, water, egg, sugar, and salt. Dip each fillet into the batter, coating generously and then quickly drop into the oil.

Fry each fillet until dark golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove and drain. Soybean oil and mustard flour are the secrets here. Thanks to Chad(?) for his help with this recipe. It should be pretty close to the real thing.
