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
Directions
Step 1
Begin by patting the cod fillets dry with paper towels; this helps the batter adhere better.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, paprika, salt, and garlic powder. Mix well until combined.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Dip each cod fillet into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off before carefully lowering it into the hot oil.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Once cooked, remove the fillets with a slotted spoon and drain on a wire rack or paper towels.
Step 8
Serve the beer battered cod with lemon wedges and tartar sauce on the side for dipping.
