Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- Salt (to taste)
- 2 teaspoons Old Bay seasoning
- 12 oz beer
- 1 egg ((about 2 oz.))
- 2 lb cod fillets (cut into big pieces)
- Ground black pepper (to taste)
- Oil (for frying)
- Lemon wedges (for serving)
Steps
-
Combine all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, and Old Bay seasoning in a bowl. Whisk in the beer and egg. Continue whisking until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. Let sit for 10 minutes to thicken.
-
Rinse the cod and pat dry with paper towels. Season with salt and ground black pepper.
-
Fill a medium pot with enough oil to cover the fish and heat it over medium heat until it reaches 375°F (190°C). Coat the cod in the batter, then remove it and shake off any excess. Carefully drop the fish into the oil one piece at a time, avoiding overcrowding the pot. Fry for 5 to 8 minutes, turning halfway through, until both sides are golden brown and crispy.
-
Remove the cod from the pot and drain on paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
-
Serve immediately with lemon wedges and a dipping sauce, such as mayo or ketchup.
