Ingredients
- 2 quarts vegetable oil , for frying
- 24 ounces cod fish fillets , cut into 8 pieces
- 1 1/2 cups flour , divided
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 2 teaspoons fine sea salt
- 2 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 egg , lightly beaten
- 12 ounces light beer
- tartar sauce
- cocktail sauce
Instructions
- Heat the 2 quarts vegetable oil in a deep fryer to 350°F. If you don't have a deep fryer, you can heat oil in a large dutch oven or cast iron skillet, use a deep fry thermometer to measure.
- Rinse the 24 ounces cod fish fillets, cut into smaller pieces, and pat it dry. Leave whole or cut into smaller pieces (I prefer smaller pieces).
- Combine 1 cup of the flour, 1 tablespoon garlic powder, 1 tablespoon paprika, 2 teaspoons fine sea salt, 2 teaspoons ground black pepper, 1 teaspoon baking soda, in a shallow dish, stirring to combine. Stir the 1 egg into the dry ingredients. Gradually add the 12 ounces light beer (so it doesn't foam too much) until a thin batter is formed.
- Toss the fish filets in the remaining 1/2 cup flour in a shallow dish or bowl and tap off the excess.
- Dip the fish filets into the batter and immediately drop into the hot oil. Work in batches so you don't crowd the pan.
- Turn once to ensure all sides are lightly brown and crispy, approximately 3-4 minutes for each batch, although this will be dependant on the thickness of your filets as well.
- Transfer to a wire rack on a baking sheet to drain. Set into a hot oven to keep warm until the rest are completed.
