Ingredients
- 4-6 Skinless Cod Fillets
- 1 Cup All-Purpose Flour
- 1 Cup Corn or Potato Starch
- 1 TSP Paprika
- 1 TSP Garlic Powder
- 1 TSP Onion Powder
- 1 TSP Creole Seasoning
- 1 TSP Cayenne Pepper
- 1 TSP Black Pepper
- 1/2 TSP Salt
- 12 OZ Bottle of Beer (Or Soda Water)
- 4-6 Brioche Buns (optional, serving suggestion)
- Lettuce (optional, serving suggestion)
- Tomato (optional, serving suggestion)
- Cheddar Cheese (optional, serving suggestion)
Method
- Heat the fryer oil to 350°F.
- Whisk the flour, starch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, Creole seasoning, cayenne, black pepper and salt together in a bowl, then whisk the beer in slowly until the batter is free of lumps.
- Rinse the cod fillets and pat them dry, season lightly with salt and pepper, and dust each fillet in flour so the batter will cling.
- Shake off the excess flour, dip each fillet into the batter until completely covered, and lower it into the hot oil.
- Fry for 6–8 minutes, until the coating is deep golden brown.
- Drain the fish on a wire rack or paper towels.
- Serve the fillets plain, or set each one in a brioche bun with lettuce, tomato and cheddar cheese.
