Ingredients

Ingredients List

  • 2 quarts vegetable oil for frying

  • 8 (4 ounce) fillets cod

  • salt and pepper to taste

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 2 tablespoons garlic powder

  • 2 tablespoons paprika

  • 2 teaspoons salt

  • 2 teaspoons ground black pepper

  • 1 egg, beaten

  • 1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle beer, or as needed


Directions

  1. Heat oil in a deep fryer to 365 degrees F (185 degrees C). Rinse cod fillets, pat dry, and season with salt and pepper.

  2. Mix flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in a large bowl; add egg and stir well to combine. Gradually mix in enough beer to make a thin batter.

  3. Dip cod fillets into the batter to coat. Carefully lower fillets, one at a time, into the hot oil. Fry several fillets at a time, turning once, until cooked through and golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels. Repeat to cook remaining fillets. Serve warm.

Editor's Note

We have determined the nutritional value of oil for frying based on a retention value of 10% after cooking. The exact amount may vary depending on cook time and temperature, ingredient density, and the specific type of oil used.
