Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Cod fillets
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1.5 cups Beer
- 4 cups Vegetable oil
- 1 lime Lemon wedges
- 1 cup Tartar sauce
Instructions
Begin by patting the cod fillets dry with paper towels; this helps the batter adhere better.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, paprika, salt, and garlic powder. Mix well until combined.
Gradually add the beer to the dry mixture, stirring continuously until you achieve a smooth batter. The batter should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon but still slightly runny.
Preheat your vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 360°F (182°C). Ensure that the oil is deep enough to fully submerge the fish.
Dip each cod fillet into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off before carefully lowering it into the hot oil.
Fry the fillets in batches to avoid overcrowding, which can cause the oil temperature to drop. Cook each piece for about 4-5 minutes, or until the batter is golden brown and the fish is cooked through.
Once cooked, remove the fillets with a slotted spoon and drain on a wire rack or paper towels.
Serve the beer battered cod with lemon wedges and tartar sauce on the side for dipping.
