Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 8 min
Serves: 4
Ingredients:
- 4x 4 oz. cod loins from your local Fisherman’s Market
- 2 cups of Guinness beer
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp ground black pepper
- 1 egg
- All purpose flour
Directions:
- Thaw and pat dry your 4oz cod loin. Next cut the loin in half lengthways giving you 2 thinner 2oz portions. (the fish will expand upon cooking in the oil).
- In a large mixing bowl, add beer, baking soda, salt & pepper, and egg.
- With a whisk, slowly add enough flour until the batter is thick, not runny and adheres to a wooden spoon.
- Heat oil in a deep fryer or in a deep sided sauté pan to 350° degrees.
- Dredge fish in flour, shaking off excess and dip in batter, covering all sides of fish
- Holding battered fish, gently dip into hot oil, holding halfway in, wait 15 seconds and drop into oil. This will prevent the fish from sticking to the bottom.
- Flip fish over when brown on one side and cook altogether about 6 minutes, depending on the thickness of the filets. The fish should be all one colour all the way through or 140° degrees internal temperature.
- Serve with tartar sauce and French fries.
ENJOY!
