Ingredients
- 4 pieces Fresh cod fillets
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 cup Unsalted beer (lager or ale)
- 2 cups Vegetable oil
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, ground black pepper, and paprika.
Step 3
Gradually add the unsalted beer to the dry mixture, whisking until a smooth batter forms. The batter should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Step 4
In a large pot or fryer, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat to 350°F (175°C).
Step 5
Once the oil is hot, dip each piece of cod into the batter, allowing the excess to drip off.
Step 6
Carefully place the battered cod into the hot oil, cooking them in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot. Fry each fillet for about 4-5 minutes per side or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Step 7
Use a slotted spoon to remove the cooked cod from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Step 8
Serve the low sodium beer battered cod hot with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
