Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Beer-Battered Cod Fillets.
Step 1
To start your delicious fish fry, grab a large mixing bowl and combine all-purpose flour, salt, baking powder, and dried dill weed.
Step 2
This blend will create a flavorful base for your batter.
Step 3
Next, gradually pour in the beer, milk, and eggs, whisking everything together until the batter is smooth and well mixed.
Step 4
Now it’s time to prepare the star of the show: the cod fillets.
Step 5
Dip each fillet into the batter, making sure they are fully coated.
Step 6
For the best results, let the coated fillets rest for about 15 minutes; this helps the batter stick better during frying.
Step 7
While the fillets are resting, heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large pot until it reaches 375°F (190°C).
Step 8
Once the oil is hot and ready, carefully place the battered fish fillets into the oil, frying them in small batches to prevent overcrowding.
Step 9
Cook each batch for about 4-5 minutes, or until they turn a beautiful golden brown and crispy.
Step 10
When they’re done, use a slotted spoon to remove the fillets from the oil and let them drain on paper towels.
Step 11
Serve your crispy cod hot, paired with your favorite dipping sauce, and enjoy the delightful crunch and flavor in every bite!.
